This is a comparison question.
The structure is: unlike X, Y.... <== X and Y should be parallel in terms of meaning.
Unlike exploring wrecks for recreational divers, in government concerns they are analyzed
over a period of years in order to identify environmental dangers and protect military secrets.
(A) Unlike exploring wrecks for recreational divers, in government concerns they are analyzed
Wrong. "they" refers to "exploring wrecks"? That makes no sense.
(B) Unlike wrecks that are explored by recreational divers, in exploring for government concerns, they are analyzed
Wrong. Incorrect usage of structure "unlike X, Y...". Like/Unlike never + Clause.Like/Unlike + noun/noun phrase ONLY.
(C) Unlike recreational divers exploring wrecks, analyzing wrecks in government concerns is done
Wrong. Incorrect comparison: recreational divers VS. analyzing wrecks? That makes no sense.
(D) For recreational divers, wrecks are explored briefly, whereas for government concerns wrecks are analyzed
Correct. Good structure: for X, wrecks are explored briefly, whereas for X wrecks are analyzed.....
(E) For recreational divers, the exploration of wrecks is brief, whereas for government concerns they are analyzed
Wrong. Incorrect comparison. "they" refers to "the exploration" <== Totally wrong.
Hope it helps.

Official Explanation
Answer: D - The sentence contains a comparison between the way recreational divers explore wrecks and the way government concerns analyze them. The first three choices use the word "unlike" at the beginning of the sentence, while the final two place "whereas" after the comma. There is nothing inherently right or wrong about either option; the important thing is that the items being compared are parallel. Choice (A) is wrong, as "exploring" should be compared with "analyzing." (B) is incorrect: "wrecks" is not parallel to "exploring." (C) places "recreational divers" after "unlike," so "government concerns" should follow the comma, but it does not. (D) is parallel: "recreational divers" are compared with "government concerns." (E) is parallel, but the pronoun "they" is ambiguous. It could refer to wrecks, divers, or government concerns. Choice (D) is correct.
Hope this helps.
