IMO:A
This is a case of parallelism.
We have to make the underline part parallel to "partly because recommendations provide more personal appraisals of students' abilities. "
First, C can be tempting.But,it has the following flaws..
1. "their student body acquiring diversity " is a wrong usage.
2.We cannot make out to what/whom "their" is refering to.
IN E ,"to acquire" is the right usage.And "partly" suffice the parallelism.
