Dude,
When Ankita said to use spoilers to indicate the OA, she means that you do it while you are writing the question. :)
I feel D is the right answer.

The only reason to rule out the option B is that the clauses are connected by conjunction "and" instead of "because" or "for".

Just read out the sentence once more with "and" and then with "for" ---- now use will understand the logic of the sentence

IMO use of AND is not wrong as such in B, but it has 2 problems:

1) use of WAS BROKEN indicates DESTROYING AND BRKING happened at the same time (but this problem we can ignore as we have another phrase "before he was hired" that indicates brking happened before DESTORYING

2) IMO use of COMMA before AND is a MAJOR PROBLEM - when we connect two verbs for a subject, then use of comma is not required
