E for me..
reason : Spacecraft WAS grounded .Singular noun singular pronoun usage. A & B out.
due to giant coronal mass ejections from the Sun, which raised radioactivity to such levels so that their avionics systems might malfunction
due to giant coronal mass ejections from the Sun, thereby raising radioactivity to such levels that their avionics systems might malfunction
C improper construction of sentence.
because the Sun had ejected giant coronal mass, which had raised the radioactivity to levels such that its avionics systems would malfunction
D Changes meaning of the sentence. Important adjective - giant
because of coronal mass ejections from the Sun raising the radioactivity to levels so high as to lead its avionics systems to malfunction
E: Perfect !!

Point 1. The spacecraft is singular; the pronoun should be ‘its’ rather than ‘their’; remove A and B
Point 2. Parallelism “would malfunction” and “might be compromised” --- not parallel. Remove C
Point 4. To malfunction denotes a purpose; it is meaningless to say something happened in order to make something else to malfunction. Remove D
‘To such levels that’ is the correct idiom; tick E
