A. they eroded the ability of the population to stay in their cities and, the result is, to remain - will require 'that' in the beginning.
B. that they eroded the ability of the population to stay in their cities and, as a result, to remain -usage of 'that' is correct and the sentence is parallel
C. that they eroded the ability of the population to stay in their cities and, the result of this, they were unable to remain -'they' is referring to what? Ambiguous.
D. that they eroded the ability of the population to stay in their cities, and resulted in being unable to remain -wrong construction and weird usage in the sentence.
E. as to erode the ability of the population for staying in their cities, resulting in being unable to remain -In the first part, the sentence would require 'that' and in the second part, the construction is wrong.
IMO answer is Option B

A. they eroded the ability of the population to stay in their cities and, the result is, to remain – WRONG. Original sentence misleads in meaning by using ‘the result is, to remain’ to suggest that after eroding the staying ability to remain intact is the result which is vague. ‘Such that’ construction s also missing.
B. that they eroded the ability of the population to stay in their cities and, as a result, to remain – CORRECT. ‘Such that’ used properly to communicate the intended meaning.
C. that they eroded the ability of the population to stay in their cities and, the result of this, they were unable to remain – WRONG. Suffers with pronoun ambiguity. Second ‘they’ can refer to violence and disease or cities. Additionally, using ‘eroded’ then ‘result’ and then unable is a redundancy error.
D. that they eroded the ability of the population to stay in their cities, and resulted in being unable to remain – WRONG. The option changes the meaning of sentence such that the surveys resulted in something…
E. as to erode the ability of the population for staying in their cities, resulting in being unable to remain – WRONG. After ‘cities,’ using resulting s not proper plus result was not instantaneous, it was gradual. ‘Such that’ construction is missing.
IMO Answer (B).
