(A) in up to 40 percent of elderly people living independently in affluent countries, the consumption of one or more essential nutrients is insufficient or they have --- The verb has to be 'are' rather than 'is' to match the plural nutrients
(B) in up to 40 percent of elderly people who live independently in affluent countries, they consume one or more essential nutrients insufficiently or have ---the prepositional 'in up to' and 'they consume' do not gel together. The preposition 'in' and the pronoun 'they' should be dropped to make it a viable structure.
(C) in up to 40 percent of elderly people who live independently in affluent countries, one or more essential nutrients are consumed insufficiently or having -- or having is unparallel and a fragment.
(D) up to 40 percent of elderly people living independently in affluent countries who consume insufficient amounts of one or more essential nutrients or who have -- a blatant fragment
(E) up to 40 percent of elderly people who live independently in affluent countries consume insufficient amounts of one or more essential nutrients or have --Correct choice.

Hi,
I believe that the usage of the singular verb 'is' is correct since it refers to consumption. (A) is incorrect because it has a modifier issue. The opening modifier 'in up to 40 percent of elderly people' does not make sense with consumption or they. Consumption is not inside these people. Neither these people are inside the 40% of the elderly population.
What do you think?
