Eliminate A, B and D.
.
E: repeatedly crossing
Here, the usage of crossing implies an action that happens CONTINUOUSLY, while the usage of repeatedly implies an action that happens OFTEN.
It is illogical to say that a CONTINUOUS action happens OFTEN.
Eliminate E.
The correct answer is C.

concerns.... "have".... plural
C and E remain..
jets went into service in the 1950's... is correct.. so C...
in E.. jets "going" into service is wrong as the action of going into service is finished in the past.. so using presnt continuous form there is wrong..
