E. In 1871, Germany first became a single, unified state, when the Treaty of Frankfurt recognized Wilhelm I as the Emperor of the country.

(D) Correct. The active voice construction 'the Treaty of Frankfurt recognized Wilhelm I' is idiomatically correct
(E) The phrase 'The Emperor of the country' is unnecessarily wordy

Humm I don't know what to think of this question. I don't agree with the correction 
Wilhelm I was recognized by the Treaty of Frankfurt as the Emperor in 1871, when Germany first became a single, unified state.
A. Wilhelm I was recognized by the Treaty of Frankfurt as the Emperor in 1871, when Germany first became a single, unified state.
B. Wilhelm I was recognized by the Treaty of Frankfurt in 1871 as Emperor, when Germany first became a single, unified state.
C. Germany first became a single,bla bla bla, when the Emperor Wilhelm I was recognized by the Treaty of Frankfurt.
D. Germany first became a single,bla bla bla, when the Treaty of Frankfurt recognized Wilhelm I as Emperor.
E. In 1871, Germany first became a single, unified state, when the Treaty of Frankfurt recognized Wilhelm I as the Emperor of the country.
If we cancel the blablas in C and D the answer choices don't make sense anymore.
I don't see why A is wrong
