    Answer Please and why?
    I choose E

    A - deaths are not approved by the board of directors !
    B - along with deaths is incorrectly tied to the main sentence
    C - which is incorrect, that is preferred. uses passive voice
    D - board of directors approved obituaries? incorrect usage

    E looks less faulty of the lot
