Are you sure OA is "B".
I think it should be "D"
a crime X for ... is the correct idiom
That rules a,b,c out.
Also I am not sure if use of With correct in B
E --> Due to a low being is awkward

Another vote for D and I am really looking forward to learn how to use WITH correctly.

I am not sure if this is correct....
But I go by meaning of "with"
"which means accompanied by" or" possess some thing."

At least in the sentence I think dependent clause is showing the reason why immigrants had to surrender gold.

So in this case I thought "because" is the correct usage and not with

i believe d is correct as well. even disregarding the usage of 'with', the present tense 'makes' in "the law passed in 1933 that makes" can't be right because it's not known if the law is still valid.
