‘can harbor’ means , can give a home or habitat to living organisms.
When you say, can hold 5700 Cu.mi, that is the limit or the highest capacity. However, you cannot say that it can harbor only 2000 unique species since a lake as big as Baikal is capable of harboring endless number of species, beyond the 2000. In this context, one has to use the simple present ‘harbors’ since that is the number of species people have found or are finding at the moment

IMO A for the below reasons.
A. Seems fine I think option A is missing a comma after 'resources' as pointed out in the below post.
B. Missing verb in main clause
C. Change in Meaning - "can harbour"
D. estimated as - wrong idiom; wrong meaning too
E. estimates as - wrong idiom; wrong meaning too
