I Was confused between B and E.

B and E are the construct of the type -

If present or present perfect......then future

would brings in conditional and uncertainty and hence other choices are incorrect.

I will choose B over E because, B has a complete clause "has not bee allowed to drive"

IMO E makes more sense than B...
B seems to tell us that she has not been allowed to drive at all...but the correct meaning is that she is not allowed to drive just her fathers car..

IMO B.

E - HAS NOT ALLOWED - Present perfect tense - This means the event got over.

I choose B. It says, HAS NOT BEEN - This is more suitable for this sentence.
