imo E.

use of the word 'because' should be avoided when there is a comparison involved. options A, B and C are out.

between D and E, E correctly uses the pronoun 'they' to refer to courts.

OA please.

OA is the abbreviation for 'Original Answer' or the actual answer

IMO,this is how it goes.

'because' is used to reason. Because blah blah... - mainly answers the WHY part.

'in that' they are composed of a presiding judge and two other judges --'in that' stresses on HOW it difers.
