Correct Answer

My Query:

In the officially correct answer, which is D, How come each and contributing in harmony?

Because contributing is not a verb, but participial form, and "each" requires a bonafide verb. Isn't it?

Also, Please analyse the correct answer, which is E.

"Each contributing" is an absolute phrase, a noun phrase that functions as a modifier but is not itself a clause, and so requires no verb. (Notice that the absolute phrase follows an independent clause, so we don't have to worry about the possibility that we're dealing with a sentence fragment here.)

each of which contribute is incorrect because "each" is a singular subject and "contribute" is a plural verb. Moreover according to their is problematic as the plural possessive pronoun "their" seems to refer to the singular antecedent "each."
