IMO OA should be A. 
Reasons for other choices are incorrect are as under:

B & C - incorrect because not following 'not because - but because' pair.

D - 'because of its wanting one to necessarily condition one's behavior' NO VERB IN THIS PART OF ANSWER CHOICE.

E - 'unit of the faily' referred by plural pronoun THEY.

Pls correct me, if I am wrong.

Not Because.... But Because is the correct version.

A & D remains

D has "of its wanting" - redundant

A is the sole winner

My answer is  (A) . It took me 02:16.

We can eliminate (BCD) rather quickly for lack of parallelism.

Now, compare (A) with (E).

A. not because it wants one to necessarily condition one's behavior but because it is itself a sub-unit of society
E. not because they necessarily condition one's behavior but because they form a sub-unit of society

In (A), it probably refers to "The unit" or "the family". 
In (E), they refers to "ideologies ".

Can "ideologies" form a sub-unit of society? The answer is negative. So (E) is out.

(A) is the winner. I still do not necessarily comprehend the meaning of this sentence, though.

First split- It VS they- the pronoun antecedent is 'The Unit of fam'- So it wins- eliminating C & E
D and B can be eliminated for Parallelism

So would go with A

Difficulty medium?

sounds intentionally wordy but isn't obvious what's wrong with it

"not because... but for the reasons that..." is idiomatically not preferred

The use of the referent "they" illogically refers to one, which is singular

very awkward use of the gerund "wanting" here. Since the use of gerund implies that "its wanting one to ..." is a giant noun phrase, "because" should be accompanied by "of" as in "John slipped because of his untied shoelace" and not "john slipped because his untied shoe lace". The word "because" is a conjunction therefore requires a subject and a verb after. "Because of" on the other hand is used like a preposition.

same issue as C
