OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
A
The first distinction between the choices may be the opening phrases, but it may be easier to start with the list in the sentence: "will increase. . . , shed. . . , and aid. . ." As is, the list is parallel, but that isn't the case in all of the choices.
(B) has an extraneous "and" before the word "shed". That's inappropriate before the second item in a three-part list. (C) has other problems ("Having translated" is the wrong verb form, and "by increasing" is more idiomatic than "in increasing") but by moving "increasing" into a modifier, makes "shed. . . , and aid" a two-part list. That in itself isn't incorrect, but a two-part list wouldn't have a comma, as there is before "and aid".
(D) uses "shedding" instead of "shed". If you only read the underlined portion, this may appear correct, but the form of the verb "to shed" must be parallel with "aid" later in the sentence. Finally, (E) has a similar problem, with "would be shedding". Again, this must be parallel with "aid", requiring that the verb in this position be "shed". (A) is the only remaining choice.
