"It" is ambiguous in A and B.

E uses "due to " incorrectly.

"Direct" is describing "contact", so it should be an adjective, not an adverb (as "directly" is). This leaves us with D.

bill how do we come to know in this sentence that "direct" is describing "contact"....
i mean as in option c if direct is describing some other thing then also same meaning is communicated..
and how do we came to know what is the actual intended meaning in this..

The issue is that C can be interpreted in two ways:

(C) contact with the latter directly through (an ichana (dream) experience)

or

(C) contact with the latter directly through (an ichana (dream) experience)

Which one do we want? As another example of an adverb being ambiguous:

Use the back door only after the store is closed.
(The back door should only be used after the store is closed; if the store is open, don't use the back door)

or

Use the back door only after the store is closed.
(The back door is the only one that can be used if the store is not open. This does not mean you can't use it when the store is open.)


If we move it to the beginning, the meaning becomes clear:

Only use the back door after the store is closed.
