Like the grassy fields and old pastures that the upland sandpiper needs for feeding and nesting when it returns in May after wintering in the Argentine Pampas, the sandpipers vanishing in the northeastern United States is a result of residential and industrial development and of changes in farming practices.

A. the sandpipers vanishing in the northeastern United States is a result of residential and industrial development and of changes in
B. the bird itself is vanishing in the northeastern United States as a result of residential and industrial development and of changes in
C. that the birds themselves are vanishing in the northeastern United States is due to residential and industrial development and changes to
D. in the northeastern United States, sandpipers’ vanishing is due to residential and industrial development and to changes in
E. in the northeastern United States, the sandpipers’ vanishing, a result of residential and industrial development and changing
IMO E( Like X, Y: here X is Grassy Fields, so Y needs to be Northeastern United States

Here the comparision should be between noun and noun.
In a,c, d and e: The grassy fields and old pastures are compared with verb ("sandpipers vanishing","the birds themselves are vanishing","sandpipers’ vanishing" ). Eliminate it.
Only b compares noun (The grassy fields and old pastures) with noun (the bird)

IMO B

considering context of this sentance,

Like the grassy fields and old pastures are vanishing, the sandpiper 'itself' is vanishing. (Both of them are vanishing because of development)
So, I think putting in itself makes the sentence more precise.

Furthermore, you should compare these two nouns, ' the grassy fields~' and 'the bird, sandpiper' D is the only choice reperesent this format.

therefore, D is the correct answer.
