A noun modifier should be close to the noun it modifies. So a commuter rail system should be followed by "in a European city". Only D is the potential answer.

His campaign for sanitary conditions in operating rooms finally successful, Sir Joseph Lister lent his name to the company that developed Listerine, the first antibacterial liquid.

A. His campaign for sanitary conditions in operating rooms finally successful
B. Since his campaign for sanitary conditions in operating rooms had been eventually successful
C. Because of the eventual success of his campaigning for sanitary conditions in operating rooms
D. His campaign for sanitary conditions in operating rooms being eventually successful
E. Campaigning, eventually successfully, for conditions to be sanitary in operating rooms
Good question. The original one is correct

Because and since cannot be used here - its not incorrect. But I wont prefer it - as the original sentence do not provide such reasoning.
In D -- "finally successful" is converted to "being eventually successful" : we are not allowed to do that. The essence of the original sentence should be maintained.

So its A. This is an absolute modifier here - "His campaign for sanitary conditions in operating rooms finally successful" .

Hope this helps !!
