A. the more difficult it is for the addict to quit as to do so requires a reorganization of the neuro-biological mechanisms responsible for compulsive behavioral patterns...........................Looks fine
B, the more difficult it is for the addict to quit as it requires a reorganization of the neuro-biological mechanisms responsible for compulsive behavioral patterns...........................Antecedant of 'it' is not clear. It should refer to noun but in the context of the sentence we require something that refers to 'quitting'.
C. it is more difficult for the addict to quit as doing so requires a reorganization of the neuro-biological mechanisms responsible for compulsive behavioral patterns.....................................The longer.......the more is correct construction
D. difficulty increases for the addict to quit as to do so requires a reorganization of the neuro-biological mechanisms responsible for compulsive behavioral patterns.................................Same as C
E. the more difficult it is for the addict to quit as to do so requires a reorganization of the neuro-biological mechanisms that are responsible for the patterns of compulsive behavior...........................wordy sentence.
IMO OA should be A

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
The longer an addict continues his habit, the more difficult it is for the addict to quit as to do so requires a reorganization of the neuro-biological mechanisms responsible for compulsive behavioral patterns.
A. the more difficult it is for the addict to quit as to do so requires a reorganization of the neuro-biological mechanisms responsible for compulsive behavioral patterns
This answer choice uses the correct form of the Double Comparative (the longer...the more difficult) and uses to do so to refer to a verb (to quit).
B. the more difficult it is for the addict to quit as it requires a reorganization of the neuro-biological mechanisms responsible for compulsive behavioral patterns
Incorrect.
This answer choice is grammatically incorrect. A pronoun (in this case, it) refers to a previously mentioned noun. If we wish to refer to a previously mentioned verb, we need to use the phrase to do so or doing so.
What helps us identify this question as a Pronoun question is the following Stop Sign:
- Any pronoun in the underlined part or after it.
C. it is more difficult for the addict to quit as doing so requires a reorganization of the neuro-biological mechanisms responsible for compulsive behavioral patterns
Incorrect.
This answer choice is grammatically incorrect. This question uses e Double Comparative. The second part of a Double Comparative must begin with the word the. In this answer choice, however, it begins with the word it.
The structure of a Double Comparative should be: the + comparison..., the + comparison....
- Example: The more he eats, the fuller he will be.
The faster he is, the greater his chance of winning.
D. difficulty increases for the addict to quit as to do so requires a reorganization of the neuro-biological mechanisms responsible for compulsive behavioral patterns
Incorrect.
This answer choice is grammatically incorrect. This question uses e Double Comparative. The second part of a Double Comparative must begin with the word the. In this answer choice, however, it begins with the word difficulty.
The structure of a Double Comparative should be: the + comparison..., the + comparison....
- Example: The more he eats, the fuller he will be.
The faster he is, the greater his chance of winning.
E. the more difficult it is for the addict to quit as to do so requires a reorganization of the neuro-biological mechanisms that are responsible for the patterns of compulsive behavior
Incorrect.
Although this answer choice is grammatically correct, it is not the most concise. The phrase that are responsible for the patterns of compulsive behavior is unnecessarily wordy and, therefore, redundant.
