School integration plans that involve busing between suburban and central-city areas have contributed, according to a recent study, to significant increases in housing integration, which, in turn, reduces any future need for busing.

(A) significant increases in housing integration, which, in turn, reduces
(B) significant integration increases in housing, which, in turn, reduces
(C) increase housing integration significantly, which, in turn, reduces
(D) increase housing integration significantly, in turn reducing
(E) significantly increase housing integration, which, in turn, reduce

OA please?

Your question are too bad, for not having any underlines for the part of the question under study!
Really bad :( Hate to read the questions without underlines.

It does not help anyone at all.

I believe the answer is A.

THis is because "significant" is used correctly and "which" modifies housing integration (as housing integration is what reduced any future need for busing)

Sorry but A is bad: integration plans = plural != increases . Thus A is out.
I am with Cans here and IMO C
Reasons for C:
1) Parallel : increase shall follow a decrease or reduce
2) ignorning unnecessary adj like significantly and some other data, the sentence looks like
Integration plans increase house integration which inturn 'reduces' other need.
3) reduces = singular = house integration

'which'.. shall refer to the phrase/noun ahead of it..

First take: 640 (50M, 27V) - RC needs 300% improvement
Second take: coming soon..

Plural plans doesn't agree with singular "increase" so it cannot be A, and reduces cannot agree like the same way , I will go with E.

IMO A.

A gives clear meaning with increases acting as a noun and not as a verb.
Getting defeated is just a temporary notion, giving it up is what makes it permanent.
