Sulfur dioxide, a major contributor to acid rain, is an especially serious pollutant because
it diminishes the respiratory system's ability to deal with all other pollutants.

A. an especially serious pollutant because it diminishes the respiratory system's
ability to deal

B. an especially serious pollutant because of diminishing the respiratory system's
capability of dealing

C. an especially serious pollutant because it diminishes the capability of the
respiratory system in dealing

D. a specially serious pollutant because it diminishes the capability of the respiratory
system to deal

E. a specially serious pollutant because of diminishing the respiratory system's
ability to deal

can't decide between A and D; any assistance please

A and D are the same sentences except for "especially" and "specially".

"specially" seems like the wrong modifier to me. My vote is A.

B, C, E look incorrect.

If you have got it down to A and D, then A arriving at A shouldn't be a problem. Especially is the right word here. Why ? Because when you want to describe something as an outstandingly good in that aspect, especially is the word.
