Historians believe that roughly 600 deaths have occurred at the Grand Canyon since the 1870s; many resulted from drowning, plane crashes into canyon walls, and the actions of overzealous hikers.
Meaning:
1. Historians believe that roughly 600 deaths have occurred at the Grand Canyon since the 1870s
2. many {of this deaths} resulted from:
.......................................................drowning,
.......................................................plane crashes into canyon walls, and
.......................................................the actions of overzealous hikers.
Errors:
This sentence correct as it is.Two independent clauses connected with semicolon. All SV pairs are in place and agree in number. After 'many' - deaths - is ellipsed but it is clear from the meaning.
'and' //ism part - list entities are //.

POE
';' semicolon is located in non-underlined part of the sentence, hence we need to find answer with full IC with SV pair.
(B), (C) and (E) can be eliminated from this standpoint - because they have verb or subject.
(A) many resulted from drowning, plane crashes into canyon walls
(B) many of these resulting from drowning deaths, planes crashing into canyon walls
(C) many of these deaths being the results of drowning, plane crashes into canyon walls
(D) many of these were drowning deaths, plane crash deaths
(E) with many as a result from drowning, planes crashing into canyon walls
Between (A) and (D)
(A) many resulted from drowning, plane crashes into canyon walls
(D) many of these were drowning deaths, plane crash deaths
'these' - demonstrative pronoun require noun that follow them to describe - deaths in our case.
missing 'resulted from' also made small deviation from intended meaning.
(D) is not completely wrong, but in comparison with (A) is not good enough.
A is the answer

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION:
A. The first thing you likely notice about the underlined part is that it contains a series of causes of Grand Canyon deaths. An underlined series means check for parallel structure. Each cause is presented as a noun, so there isn’t a blatant problem with parallelism. Some of the answer choices change plane crashes to planes crashing to match drowning, but they introduce new errors. Choices (B), (C), and (E) create sentence fragments, which don’t work with the semicolon. The semicolon has to be followed by an independent clause. Choice (D) unnecessarily repeats deaths. It doesn’t make sense to say the deaths result from drowning deaths. The best answer is to leave this one exactly as it is.
