Stalactites and stalagmites - two things
Hence we need are before common.
Therefore, D is out.
Commonly is wrong usage in option E.
Therefore E is incorrect.
We are now left with A, B and C
In Option B, "That" is trying to show that the minerals were formed over time, but its not the minerals but the stalactites and stalagmites.
In GMAT
Verb form > Adjective Form > Noun Form
This means that verb form has the highest preference and then adjective and then the least noun.
In C, "the dripping of water" is the noun form
Whereas, In A, "dripping water" is adjective form.
Hence C is ruled out.
Answer is A.

hey im not sure if u can eliminate B because of the reasons you have mentioned.
in option A "formed is an adjective, which modifies minerals so by ur logic then A must also be wrong.
I guess "that" is B is ambiguous because the verb followed by that is "are" so "that are" could refer to accretions (wrongly) or minerals (correctly).
What's your take?
cheers
