The bower birds derive their name from the bowers that the male birds create, and not from the male birds themselves.
Therefore, answer choice B and E can be eliminated as the meaning of the sentence changes.

In answer choice C, "females, who may develop into" incorrectly implies that the female birds may may develop into a formal courtship over time. This makes n sense. So, eliminate C.

In answer choice D, the parallel structure garnering attention ... and ... developing a formal courtship introduces a meaning error. Both modifiers refer back to the main clause: males build bowers, garnering attention from females (this part is okay) and males build bowers, developing a formal courtship (this part is not okay). Who are the males developing a formal courtship with? The bowers? The females are no longer represented as part of the formal courtship-and they should be.

There is no grammatical error in answer choice A and the sentence structure is also logical. So, IMO A.
