IMO B.

think I've read it somewhere that hopefully should not be used to modify a clause...

My stake on E

"such as " is be used to give examples. Here the example is "electromagnetic waves"

"it is hoped" is non essential modifier, which is used correctly.

I think the author just wants a comparison with electromagnetic waves hence, such as doesn't make sense here.

Moreover, you need nouns after such as and not verbs

My stake on 'A' as it is more concise, correctly modifying the subject 'The use' as compare to
answer 'B' , which is very wordy and not correctly modifying subject. I could not see any issues using
'hopefully' in GMAT.
