Golden rule:

When 'consider' means 'regard as' in the sentence, 'as' should not be present. Almost always in GMAT, 'consider' is also not followed by a infinitive 'to be'.

Examples:

Critics consider facilities to be an integral part of the infrastructure. -- Incorrect
Critics consider facilities an integral part of the infrastructure. -- Correct

why ,which rather than which can u pls explain????

Which is usually not restrictive (doesn't give necessary information about the noun it's modifying), and is preceded by a comma. That is restrictive (gives necessary information about the noun it's modifying) and is not preceded by a comma.

That car, which looks like it could use a car wash, has three parking tickets on its windshield. (you could just say That car has three parking tickets on its windshield and the main point of the sentence is unaffected).

The car that has three parking tickets on its windshield is about to be towed away. (here, the that clause tells us which car is about to towed, essential information for the sentence's main point).

This sentence discusses characteristics of "the banana," a singular subject. Thus, the plural verb "are"
is incorrect. Additionally, the phrase "considered to be" is unidiomatic. In standard written English,
"considered" is accompanied by neither a preposition nor a verb. Finally, the relative pronoun "that"
makes it seem that a particular banana, rather than bananas in general, contains high levels of
potassium.

(A) This choice is incorrect as it repeats the original sentence.

(B) CORRECT. This choice correctly uses the singular verb "is" with the singular subject "banana,"
and correctly uses "considered" without an accompanying preposition or verb. Additionally, the relative
pronoun "which" properly introduces a non-restrictive clause that indicates all bananas, rather than
one specific banana, contain high levels of potassium.

(C) The plural verb "contain" is incorrectly paired with the singular subject "banana." Additionally,
"considered to be" is unidiomatic.

(D) The relative pronoun "which" is incorrectly used to introduce a restrictive clause. Also, the
sentence seems to indicate that certain bananas, rather than all bananas, contain high levels of
potassium.

(E) This choice incorrectly uses the unidiomatic "considered to be."
