(A) wings, shaped so smoothly and perfectly
(B) wings, wings so smooth and so perfectly shaped
(C) wings that are shaped so smooth and perfect
(D) wings, shaped in such a smooth and perfect manner
(E) wings, wings having been shaped smoothly and perfectly so
My take -

1. One needs to understand the meaning of the sentence
2. them in the non-underlined part is the key to above.

A) 'THEM' can refer to manufacturers, airplanes, wings - they are all before the comma.
B) CORRECT (so smoothly, so perfectly are parallel)
C) SO SMOOTH and PERFECT are not parallel
D) Same problem as A
E) Placement of SO changes the meaning.
Success = Max(Hardwork) + Min(Luck)
