At the state beach, deaths due to drowning have increased by 35% this year, not because of fewer lifeguards but because of dramatic changes in ocean currents.

B by drowning have increased by 35% this year, due not to
C from drowning having increased by 35% this year, not because of having
D due to drowning this year have increased by 35%, not due to

not X but Y must serve to connect PARALLEL FORMS.

due to is an ADJECTIVE.
because of is an ADVERB.
I discuss the difference here:
https://www.beatthegmat.com/difference-b ... 12817.html

B and E: due not to...but because of
D: not due to...but because of
In these options, due to (adjective) and because of (adverb) are not parallel forms.
Eliminate B, D and E.

In C, deaths (subject) lacks a verb.
The result is an incomplete sentence.
Eliminate C.

The correct answer is A.
