KAPLAN OFFICIAL EXPLANATION:
While the standard idiom is 50... that, so... as can also be used in certain situations but so... it is never correct. Eliminate (B). Eliminate (C) for a verb tense error: The sentence begins in the present tense (is... transparent) and has no reason to switch from is to the past tense was at the end. (D) and (E) are not idiomatic; transparent enough has to be followed by to be in this situation and transparent enough so as to be combines incompatible idioms. The sentence could read transparent enough to be or 50 transparent as to be but (E) wrongly offers a mixture of the two options. Even though the original sentence is rather clumsy, (A) is still the best option of the ones you're given.

IMO Choices with 'To Be' termination are incorrect as this shows - substance is having intent 'to be' transparent.
B & C contain Tense error.
Is D really unidiomatic ? many place ' X enough that Y' construction has been observed previously.
