617. School desegregation has worked well in Buffalo, New York, in part because parents and teachers were given major roles in designing the city's magnet schools, because extra federal funds were allocated to make each school unique, and because the federal judge enforced desegregation orders.
(A) because extra federal funds were allocated to make each school unique
(B) because of the allocation of extra federal funds that make each school unique
(C) because each school is made unique by allocating it extra federal funds
(D) extra federal funds were allocated in order to make each school unique
(E) extra federal funds were allocated for making each school unique

the clauses that should be parallel are:
1) because parents and teachers were given major roles in designing the city’s magnet schools

2) ___

3) and because the federal judge enforced desegregation orders

B introduce "of the" which isn't //
C in ungrammatical

I think ans should be A

Isn't the use of 'because' awkward?
What's wrong with D?
