D. while large, integrated companies, such as Bethlehem Steel, that
E. and large, integrated companies such as Bethlehem Steel
Need a "," after "Bethlehem Steel" to sperate it from "once conducted". Otherwise, it means that "Bethlehem Steel conducted the operations" wher as the intended meaning is to say that "large,integrated companied conducted the operations".

eliminating A and E.

explaining the reason behind the change in the steel industry, hence "As" is preferred.

ANSWER "B"

The second part of the sentence explains WHY the steel industry has changed. Hence "as" or "since" would be correct. Using "while" changes the meaning of the sentence. That's why D is wrong.

Usage of AS to express the reason:

X is growing AS Y is declining
means: X and Y are inversly proportional and thus x surely grows with the reason that Y declines.

the usage of while to express the contrast is as below.

X is growing while Y is declining

it means, X is growing EVEN THOUGH (unexpectedly) Y is declining.

Hope it helps.
