(A) importance that communication is a two-way process will be emphasized
(B) importance of communication as a two-way process will be emphasized
(C) importance of communication being a two-way process will be the emphasis
(D) fact will be emphasized that communication is a two-way process and of importance
(E) emphasis will be that communication being a two-way process is important

OA is B, but I think A is also ok. Whether IMPORTANCE OF is idimatic or there is another reason for elemination of A.

You can reject Op A for this reason:-

THAT introduces a relative clause and a clause must contain a verb. Now look at Op A

THAT importance THAT communication is a two-way process will be emphasized

THAT importance(R.Clause1) verb is "will be emphasized"
THAT communication(R.Clause2) verb is "IS"

Now based on this you will actually mean that Importance will be emphasized as this verb corresponds to Importance only as this verb is a part of clause 1...while it should be importance of communication as a two-way process which will be emphasized.

So in sum- Op A distorts the meaning of the sentence.

Now try this same approach in Op B...i'm sure you will understand why its clear.

atulmangal, thank you.

You are right that we have two sentences (1. the importance WILL and 2. communication IS). But for me, both sentences look ok. Further two arguments for A:
1. if the difference btw A and B is the meaning, then A will ok, since this is the author’s position.
2. clear sentence (THAT COMMUNICAION IS A PROCESS) is better, or at least no worse, than noun phrase
3. if B (or other options) do not have mistakes, we shouldn’t change option A for the sake of changing

Please, correct me

A also contains multiple "that" relative clauses, which is not required and makes the sentence structure awkward.

@kvitkod

Just try to imagine if i come to u and say,

In that conference, Importance will be emphasized.

You surely gonna think that m crazy..or something...because my statement is not clear...WHAT IMPORTANCE

IMPORTANCE OF SOMETHING will be emphasized is okay

Op B is clear in this sense

importance of something will be emphasized.

Thanks

atulmangal, thanx, now it is clear

Yes. importance of is idiomatic. While not pehaps a sacrosacnt rule, that usually follows Adjectives and certain Verbs.

So, important, an Adjective, can be followed with that. Example:

It is important that we all understand the merits of Hard work.

Some verbs are also commonly followed by that. Example:

Anna suggested that we all unit in our fight against corruption.

As mentioned, importance is a Noun and importance of is the correct idiom.

The only time I can see following importance with that would be when that is starting a clause, rather than refining the noun importance, and even then, only in an inverted sentence structure.

Because there was only time to discuss either the proposal's cost or its importance, it was its importance that the class addressed.

I cannot imagine seeing that in GMAT SC.
