Okay, let's take a critical look at this subject in order to search for the most appropriate solution to it.

From the first solution which is OPTION A - INCORRECT, it would be noticed that there's no observable change in the manner the question has been answered in front the way it has been asked. Therefore, it is not the proper way to answer such questions and we must proceed to other options to get the correct one we need.

In OPTION B - INCORRECT, it is case of too much repetition and stress in the key words. There is a reckless usage of the conjunction and here, and it makes the whole sentence too emphatic. Not what we need.

The case in OPTION C - INCORRECT, is different because we have a double case of too much emphasis and wrong usage of punctuation. It lacks the grammatical correctness we intend to get from it.

The OPTION in D - INCORRECT is or would have been correct but for the unnecessary repetition of the head word "surface". A breaker in the form of a comma sign could have been used to properly analyze the statement. So, unfortunate that it is likewise an incorrect option to this question.

Lastly, we look up to OPTION E - CORRECT ANSWER to provide us with the needed answer. It'd interest us to know that the last option enables us to see a properly punctuated sentence and the avoidance of unnecessary repetitions of keywords. Instead, we saw how the singular tense it was being used to replace surface towards the concluding part.
