Accused X of is correct idiomatic usage.
Answer should be A.

Mr Franklin ACCUSED Dell OF doing something. “results” is plural, so we need “were”
A: accused Dell of seeking to distract attention from what he said were the “worst results in its 70-year history”...good
B: accused Dell, seeking to distract attention, from what he said were the “worst results in its 70-year history”...
who is seeking? structure is fragmented and unidiomatic.
C: accused Dell that seek to distract attention from what he said was the “worst results in its 70 year history”.
Dell that seek; from what he said WAS?? unidiomatic, wordy, wrong verb(was)
D: accused Dell for seeking to distract attention from what he said was the “worst results in its 70 year history”.
"accused of" and "accused for" have been wrongly interchanged. You accuse someone of a crime; The trial Judge may
release the accused for lack of evidence;
E: accused Dell for seeking to distract attention from what he said were the “worst results in its 70-year history”.
only difference is the use of "for" which is not the contextual usage for charging someone who commits a crime...out
