Seems to be a parallelism issue. I'd choose B because it is the only answer choice that aligns correctly ("to reveal"/"to ensure").

What's the OA?

B should be the answer. All other choices have parallelism issues.

"to reveal" is preferable to "for revealing". This eliminates C,D,E.

Between A and B, B contains correct usage and also maintains parallelism.
