Invented for use in short wavelength radar during WWII, the cavity magnetron, which was able to produce electromagnetic waves at a lower frequency than had previously been possible, was the basis for the development of the common microwave oven.

Look at it this way. The cavity magnetron was the gadget invented during WWII and is the subject of this question. The technology is only a modifier. To say that it was called the cavity magnetron renders the original subject as a modifier and turns the modifier as the subject. This is a gross distortion of intent. Choices C, D, and E fall by the wayside just this reason.
B. Invented for use in short-wavelength radar during WWII, having the ability to produce electromagnetic waves at a lower frequency than had previously been possible, the cavity magnetron--The second moodier is not being joined by the first modifier with any conjunction' As such it gives a doubt that it is modifying the first modifier as in a nested modifier structure. Then the original meaning is lost. Hence A is the correct choice.

Is A preferred over C because C is wordier?
