Students in the metropolitan school district lack math skills to such a large degree as to make it difficult to absorb them into a city economy becoming ever more dependent on information-based industries.
(A) lack math skills to such a large degree as to make it difficult to absorb them into a city economy becoming
(B) lack math skills to a large enough degree that they will be difficult to absorb into a city's economy that becomes
(C) lack of math skills is so large as to be difficult to absorb them into a city's economy that becomes
(D) are lacking so much in math skills as to be difficult to absorb into a city's economy becoming
(E) are so lacking in math skills that it will be difficult to absorb them into a city economy becoming
[spoiler]
OA:E[/spoiler]

Why other options are incorrect? Also how come "becoming" is correct? It sound so weird to ears too.

in A, subject of "to make it difficult" is "students". no logics
in B, "large enough that" is no idiomatic
in C, "lack" is not a verb. wrong
in D, subject of "to absorb" is "student" .. no logic
