A, is my pick. Seems like D has "based on" repeated which is redundant.

IMO E.

A) seems to be wordy.
B) Never use participle forms of verb unless otherwise there is a comparison between two different time frames.
C) Seems redundant
D) Doesn't sound correct to me!

OA is D. I am confused about that the verb "united" should be used in passive tense?
