Is the OA A?

B: has been... so that?
C , D and E: the use of such does not fit. and statements are wordy and awkward.

OA IS A

B - incorrect - there is repetition of "so" as such it is illogical,
C, E - incorrect - "that" has been omitted which makes both the choices grammatically incorrect.
D - incorrect - seperation of "has" and "been" is vague and incorrect.
C, D ,E - incorrect - "such" seems to convey the meaning "of a kind" and it is not stressing "abundant" as it should do otherwise
