'Seeming' is wrong. Hence (1), (2) are ruled out.
(3) is wordy
(4) is correct
(5) is wordy

would go for D

we need the adverb "seemingly" to modify the adjective-"endless". A and B out. E too wordy.
between C and D, D is more concise. each directly refers to the waves, we do not need "each of those"

D for me .

The same reasoning as in the post above.

OA plz

Choose D

A- seeming is wrong, you need an adverb. This is meant to modify endlessly and not wave

B- same as A

C- same as A

D- Correct

E- Wordy, a more concise option is available.
