IMO D,
> a verb preferred over a noun .
> participate in is correct

what's the OA?

D seems correct and concise but A has nothing wrong expect that 'while they participate' is redundant as contestants will participate in the test and tournaments unlike spectators.

i feel D is correct

A,B,C - "they" refers to whom is not clear
E- change the meaning. it shows as if test adm r giving permission to music
