Critics of the trend toward privately operated prisons consider corrections facilities to be an integral part of the criminal justice system and question if profits should be made from incarceration.

(A) to be an integral part of the criminal justice system and question if
(B) as an integral part of the criminal justice system and they question if
(C) as being an integral part of the criminal justice system and question whether
(D) an integral part of the criminal justice system and question Whether
(E) are an integral part of the criminal justice system, and they question whether

From what I've read words like being, having been are usually avoided in GMAT SC.
D is correct

IMO: D
'consider X,Y' is a pattern not 'consider X as Y'==> b and c are out

GK,

IMO correct answer should be option D

Reason -- 'being' is mostly incorrect in GMAT. Also the correct idiom is consider xy ..

in this case X= correctios facilities
Y= integral part

This SC is purely driven by idiom usage. Idiom usage is the only differentiator between C and D .. I can see you have successfully eliminated other options.
