It should be B because of the following reasons...

B. that for every dollar spent on controlled small scale burning, forest thinning, and the training of fire management personnel, seven dollars are saved that would have been spent on extinguishing - correct...

C. that for every dollar spent on controlled small scale burning, forest thinning, and the training of fire management personnel saves seven dollars on not having to extinquish -- lacks parrallelism... should be seven dollars are saved...

4) error because of it (I am able to get it)
5) Introductory that makes a sentence fragment .... How ???
