A- "due to" is wrong

B- Misuse of gerunds and "due to" is misused

C- Correct

D- this needs a comma to close the non-essential phrase

E- "is because" is always wrong

Hehe .....another from the same book. I posted this one to check if my answer matches with others and it does for this one too :)

IMS book says D is the OA

Can you please explain more for "D- this needs a comma to close the non-essential phrase" Where it should have comma? There is already a comma before which in D

If they are going to say that D is the correct answer, then it would have to read:

Many experts agree that the rise in the number of reported street crimes, which is attributable to increased unemployment and homelessness, is a problem that can be solved only by providing jobs and homes to those who need them.

You have to close the phrase. Option D doesn't have the ending comma, so the modifier is never closed, making that answer choice invalid.
