The division of the day into twenty-four hours, rather than into some other number of periods, are essentially random, and most people can scarcely imagine dividing the day in any other way.
The division is random. We need a singular verb, hence A and E are out.
B)hours is essentially random, unlike some other number of periods, and yet most people can scarcely imagine the day being divided
"unlike some other number of periods" is misplaced, it must refer to "the division of the day into twenty-four hours".
The sentence seems to say that a division in any other number of periods would not be random.
C)hours, unlike some other number of periods, is essentially random, despite the fact that people can scarcely imagine the day being divided
As always the presence of "being" makes the sentence look suspicious. The "day being divided" gives the idea of an on going action (also in B this happens).
D)hours, rather than into some other number of periods, is essentially random, yet most people can scarcely imagine dividing the day
is the correct answer.

The Subject in non-underlined portion is Singular (Division), so singular verb must be used. Use of AND distorts the intended meaning of the sentence. Incorrect
B)hours is essentially random, unlike some other number of periods, and yet most people can scarcely imagine the day being divided
Incorrect comparison between Division and Unlike some other number of periods is incorrect. Moreover there is no need to use BEING. Incorrect
C)hours, unlike some other number of periods, is essentially random, despite the fact that people can scarcely imagine the day being divided
There is no need to use BEING. Moreover, DESPITE changes the meaning of the sentence.
It seems Division is some impact of lack of people imagination. But the author wants that these two activities are not cause n effectIncorrect
D)hours, rather than into some other number of periods, is essentially random, yet most people can scarcely imagine dividing the day
Correct
