"The board" is singular, so "they" in AB is incorrect.

"inputs" is plural so "is not accepted" should be "are not ..." CD are out.

E is the remaining answer. I find it a bit wordy though. But according to MGMAT SC, answer choices must be eliminated first for Grammar errors, and use Concision as a last resort.

E,
I think EVEN WHEN & even though should be followed by a clause (plus other errors)
D is out because of IS.

Am I right?
