Have no clue in approaching this question, any suggestions

The beautiful cello solo at the end of the symphony may have salvaged the
performance, for most of the orchestra members performed poorly throughout
the two hour concert
.

(A) for most of the orchestra members performed poorly throughout the
two hour concert
(B) in that most of the orchestra members performed throughout the two
hour concert in a poor manner
(C) when most of the orchestra members performed poorly throughout
the two hour concert
(D) despite most of the orchestra members performing poorly throughout
the two hour concert
(E) even though most of the orchestra members made a poor performance
throughout the two hour concert

OA A

Regards,
Uva

(A) for most of the orchestra members performed poorly throughout the two hour concert
Correct.

(B) in that most of the orchestra members performed throughout the two hour concert in a poor manner
Incorrect - "in that" sounds strange

(C) when most of the orchestra members performed poorly throughout the two hour concert
Incorrect - this implies that when the members started performing poorly, the cello started performing.

(D) despite most of the orchestra members performing poorly throughout the two hour concert
Incorrect - this implies that the members purposely performed poorly and the cello could have followed, but instead choose to give a great performance.

(E) even though most of the orchestra members made a poor performance throughout the two hour concert
Incorrect - this implies that the members purposely performed poorly and the cello could have followed, but instead choose to give a great performance.
