A - extremely wordy, whenever you see "the fact" be concerned; also "that they are in" can be summarized to "their"
B - same issue with "the fact" but does use "their," which is an improvement
C - "show" is more direct than "indicate," and it's concise, so this is the favorite
D - "they themselves" is definitely unnecessary, and "to show that they oppose" could again be shortened by using "their"
E - "In indicating that" gets rid of some of the purposeful/causal intent of the original sentence, as it's super roundabout; same issue with "that they are"
