Isn't "with" the wrong usage here? B is incorrect and D is correct.

B is wrong because of two reasons-

1. The first part of the sentence no where having a proper comparison with the latter part i.e

Unlike the shuttle and earlier spacecraft, with sufficient enough power in fuel cells and batteries for their short flights ---- > this part just says that shuttle and spacecraft are having sufficient enough power xxxxxx

latter part says that orbitting space station will have to generate i.e do some action

2. Earlier spacecraft means that something which used to happen in the past but option B by the usage of with is predicting that it's presently this and the same is wrong because it changes the intended meaning of the sentence

Both "sufficient" and "enough" don't go together in choice B

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
