"as a result" in E is misplaced. E is out
D is not a sentence
C has verb-subject problem
A and B are left
in this case, gmat prefer normal order. B is correct. There is a similar quesion in OG 10. I do not understand why A is correct

In B, don't it sound like a run on sentence..after depressed, punctuation should occur...
"Native of" is used for a individual while "Native to" is used for a large group
