(A) to attend college involving the study of change, is used in the science and engineering fields, because it focuses on
(B) to attend college involves the study of change, and is used in the fields of science and engineering, because it focuses on
(C) to go to college involving the study of change, and is used in science and engineering fields, because it was focusing on
(D) to attend college that involves studying change, and is used in the science and engineering fields, because it focuses on
(E) to attend college involving the study of change, which is now used in the science and engineering fields, focuses on

Isn't B a fragment.
There is no verb in the main sentence.

The text in red can be removed, so what we get is :
Calculus, and is ....
It seems wrong to me. Comments?

B seems to be the best pick, though I must confess, I am not entirely convinced that B is structured right.

IMO none of the options are correct. A to D - all option uses incorrect puntuations [Independent Clause, Dependent Clause].GmatKiss wrote:Calculus, a subject offered to high school students planning to attend college involving the study of change, is used in the science and engineering fields, because it focuses on limits, derivatives, integrals, and infinite series.

In B use of comma before 'is used' not correct - this should be used only when subject is different. Also, IT can refer to both SUBJECT & THE STUDY. If I have to pick I'll pick E
