Stymieing the Armada’s plans to meet up with the Duke of Parma’s army off the coast of Flanders, the reason for the defeat of the Spanish Armada was not only due to gale winds that favored the British but also the sacrificing of eight war ships as “fire ships,” vessels filled with flammable materials and sent downwind toward the closely-anchored Spanish fleet.

Hi
Your transcription seems to be different from the other earlier versions. Even D seems to be way apart from your version. Could you kindly look into that?
But as such, we can remember two things. The first is that the reason and due to ( for that matter also "because" or "because of", if there are such choices) are redundant. Second and less notably, the gerund 'sacrificing' is inferior to the standard noun sacrifice.
