E - REdunddant (the reason - is because)

I am copy-pasting the following from Bartleby
"Due to and owing to mean just what because of means. All three are prepositions. Owing to fought and won its way to respectability a good while ago, and now due to has almost won its battle, although there is a residue of conservative unhappiness over it when it does not follow a linking verb, as in He arrived late, due to a flat tire. Some Edited English and Oratorical speech will still avoid such uses, but at all other levels all three locutions are Standard: Because of [owing to, due to] his having sprained his ankle, he walked with a cane. Because of [owing to, due to] his sprained ankle, he walked with a cane."

I heard many times that if in GMAT two answers are almost equal, than it means that they are both wrong....
I like D here.
BTW there is nothing wrong with tense. Has had is present perfect of "to have"

'Due to' means 'caused by'. It should be used when it can be substituted by 'caused by'.
Example:
Game was postponed due to rain. INCORRECT
Game's postponement was due to rain. CORRECT
Here 'due to' does not fit.
'D' is the best answer.

I think both A and D are grammatically correct. In D " The near empty" phrase changes the menaing of the sentence. I pick A .

I go for (A)! in (C) 'owing to...' refers to she, which changes the meaning!? what is OA? cheers
