A suggests that the hospitals developed the procedures after cardiac death. As if hospitals die of cardiac death.

(D) In spite of cardiac death organ donation procedures developed by the majority of children's hospitals in the United States,

Assuming "although" and "in spite" are grammatically correct, D can still be eliminated by identifying "cardiac death organic donation" as wordy and confusing. "have developed procedures" is also preferred over "Developed by the majority of children's hospitals".

I think we can overlook "although/in spite of" and still find the answer to this question.
