a) the creation of new divisions that are, increasingly, less related Less related? Don't we need a comparative word here?
b) the creation of new divisions that are increasingly less related : Less related? Don't we need a comparative word here?
c) create new divisions that are increasingly unrelated : yes. I went with this.
d) be increasingly less related while creating new divisions: Changes the meaning
e) increasingly create new divisions with less relation: Changes the meaning.
