I would ignore this question. It is unrepresentative of the kind of question that you will get in your GMAT. The length of the sentence itself, the absence of articles where they would be required, the unnecessary piling-up of adjectives and adverbs, the modification problem that exists even in the best answer (option E), the abuse of the adjectival genitive (
1996 Mid-sea Continent Journalist Tea Party Award winner: impossibly bad), and the lack of any clarification as to what TO RECOGNIZE actually means here, make this a question that you simply do not need to consider.
Option E is the best answer, but only because all the others are worse. I don't know what your source is for this question, but if the question is representative of the source, you might want to think about using another.
if you like this post, please give it kudos.

online GMAT prepFirstly, that the question is not a rep of what u get in GMAT is rather not true.
When I read that question first I was pissed off like you are.
But I calmed down. let me help u out.
(Midsea Continent Journalist Tea Party) is clearly the name of a group which is singular. You didn't observe they are in capital letters
(The 1996 Midsea Continent Journalist Tea Part Award winner)
That is not wrong.
Is it wrong to say ( The 2002 Nobel Prize winner)?
Nobel Prize is the name of the award coming from a group called Nobel.
So Mid-sea Continent Journalist Tea Party Award is the award from a body called Mid-sea ... whatever.
Trying to prove a question is wrong is a waste and a wrong learning strategy. You wouldn't learn it like that.
I suggest you go check out

They'd give you more devilish +700level questions.
