A- So smoothly and perfectly: so perfectly May be correct
B- S smooth and so — shaped followed by that – seems good
C- Same error like In A
D- B looks more convincing than F
E- Having been – wrong

That is correct.

Follow the links below, very helpful in clearing the doubts in discussion here. It is better to understand the concept clearly than simply remember grammar rules

Hope I was of help

Dear experts,

I can eliminate A C D and E but I am wondering that double so in C is acceptable :
"so smooth and so perfectly shaped that.. "

Presumably you're asking about the double "so" in choice (B)... and since that's our OA, we know it must be acceptable!

It's no problem to add the second "so" for emphasis. For example:

    "The fudge was so rich and so creamy that it melted in my mouth." :-P

Is the second "so" necessary? No. But it adds emphasis and makes it clear that we want to apply a "so" to both of the modifiers.

I hope that helps!

IMHO
In option A & D "shaped...." is acting as an adverbial modifier. Hence, it relates to the subject "aircraft manufacturers". Hence it is incorrect.
comma + verb-ed = action modifiers.

I am correct?
