while all states face similar industrial waste problems,the predominating industries and the regulatory environment of the states obviously determines the types and amounts of waste produced, as well as the cost of disposal.

A. all states face similar industrial waste problems, the predominating industries and the regulatory environment of the states obviously determines
B. each state faces a similar industrial waste problem, their predominant industries and regulatory environment obviously determine
C. all states face a similar industrial waste problem; their predominating industries and regulatory environment obviously determines
D. each state faces similar industrial waste problem, the predominant industries and the regulatory environment of each state obviously determines
E. all states face similar industrial waste problems, the predominant industries and the regulatory environment of each state obviously determine

In A, C and D, determines (singular) does not agree with predominating industries and regulatory environment (plural).
Eliminate A, C and D.

In B, their (plural) does not agree with each state (singular).
Eliminate B.

The correct answer is E.

My doubt: In OA, ALL and EACH are workable in one sentence?

Yes.
ALL STATES face similar problems.
Here, the usage of all is appropriate because the states AS A GROUP all face similar problems.
The predominant industries and the regulatory environment of each state obviously determine the types and amounts of waste produced.
Here, the usage of each is appropriate because each state has ITS OWN predominant industries and regulatory environment that determine the types of waste produced in THAT STATE.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
