I pick A.

Curricula is plural, so it has to be offer and not offers in B.
Option C & E are awkward.
In D, it talks about districts' students as opposed districts' curricula

oxon · Answer

I am going for D.
curricula is indeed the plural form of curriculum. However, the  curricula  also ensure that  students of the districts  receive adequate instruction in the standard subjects.

rthothad · Answer

I will go with 'A' on this one.
'D' I think changes the intent of the original statement because in the original sentence the subject is the 'The  districts' curricula ' which is offering courses for students, who could be from the same district or not. But in 'D' the subject is 'The curricula' which is offering courses for the  district's students  - according to the original statement courses are offered to students and not specifically to the districts' students.
