This one is ugly. My pick is B

A,C and E have pronoun reference errors, we don't know who is this "him" referring to : attorney or assistant?

D has the problem with "was", who was bombarded with questions.

B is the only one that wins.

(B) is the right answer ... Took me about 3 minutes

A. Despite entering the courthouse with police escort, the lead attorney and his assistant, manhandled by an aggressive crowd of reporters that bombarded him (who attorney or his assistant ?) with questions, was (requires plural verb) injured seriously enough to warrant immediate medical attention.

B. Despite the fact that the lead attorney and his assistant entered the courthouse with police escort, they were manhandled by an aggressive crowd of reporters that bombarded the attorney with questions and injured him (Correctly refers to attorney) so seriously that [color=blue](Correct use of “so X that Yâ€
