Viruses, due to their inability to sustain life processes on their own, are not classed among living organisms, but between parasites.
'Due to' does not make sense here. We can replace 'due to' with 'caused by' to check. A,C,D are out.
'between parasites' is wrong in B.
Option A clearly uses the modifier to modify viruses. Then 'among' is perfectly used for living organisms,parasites.

E is the correct choice.
A. Viruses, due to their inability to sustain life processes on their own, are not classed among living organisms, but between parasites.
1)Due to is not a correct choice here. Due to only presents reason for a noun and not for an action.
2)But should be preceded by an independent clause because But is coordinating conjunction.
B. Viruses, being unable to sustain life processes on their own, are classed between parasites, not among living organisms.
1)Viruses should need a verb.
2) Being is wrong here.
C. Due to their inability to sustain life processes on their own, viruses are not classed among living organisms, being parasites.
Same as B
D. Viruses are parasites and are not classed between living organisms due to their inability to sustain life processes on their own.
Their inability can also refer to living organisms
E. Unable to sustain life processes on their own, viruses are not classed among living organisms, but among parasites- Correct
