It's rather a tricky question,
(C) / (D)
It has now been acknowledged / there is now an acknowledgement
who is acknowledging ? can you find anyone whoc is doing so? NO ! so, (C) / (D) can be eliminated.
in (E)- acknowledged to be is incorrect, usually for such a meaning we use considered as, considered etc...(depends on the sentence structure) so (E) is out
(A) Vs (B)
Acknowledged TO BE is the correct usage
Acknowledged as may be used in a sentence where acknowledged as is followed by a noun
eg-Acknowledged as the leader
Hope this works.

Always we must use a subject after a prepositional phrase: here is barbara and bla bla....so suddenly we have to choose between A and B. Who cares of the rest, you should not see it neither.
Then , the difference is on the last word: major and then what ?? importance. Major if is not followed by importance does not make sense.
If you think about those only rules, one step at time you can answer to this question (difficult indeed) in 20 seconds.
Hope this helps
