Water gels, applied to pieces of art using small sponges that slowly release chemical solvents onto the artwork first used in the early 1980s, are minimizing potential damage to original artwork.

It is all about knowing what is modifying what and then placing them correctly.
onto the artwork first used in the early 1980s -- again first used in the early 1980s can modify sponges or water gels and logically not to artwork.
minimize -- minimize could parallel with release or apply !!
Main VERB -- There is NO verb with main subject water gel.
main verb -- release is the main verb and is correctly used
minimizing..... -- the ING modifier is correctly modifying and talking about the previous action.
CORRECT
C

pieces of art USING small sponges -- It illogically means that there are art works that use small sponges!

Quote:
first used in the early 1980s is correctly placed to modify water gels, but water gels APPLY.. Can they? No, they ARE APPLIED.
minimize -- minimize could parallel with release or apply !!
Quote:
Back to back modifiers -- first used..., being applied...., minimizing...
Main VERB -- There is NO verb with main subject water gel.
Quote:
first used in the early 1980s and applied to pieces of art with small sponges -- both modifiers are parallel and are placed correctly to modify water gels.
main verb -- release is the main verb and is correctly used
minimizing..... -- the ING modifier is correctly modifying and talking about the previous action.
CORRECT

Two verbs are applied and minimize are not connected by any conjunction

POE:
Eliminate (A)- we need a verb before 'applied'
Eliminate (B) - modifier error; "water gels.......apply"
Eliminate (C) - 'being' is redundant on GMAT.
Eliminate (E) - connector needed before 'minimize'
