"Regarded to be" is incorrect and the reasons why/reasons being '" is also incorrect.

OPTION A:- INCORRECT
This choice is incorrect as it repeats the original sentence........Do not regard safety to be the sole cause. Just repetition of an incorrect clause.

OPTION B:- CORRECT
This choice uses the concise phrase "what triggered the civil war" and uses the Idiomatic phrase "regard slavery as the sole cause " (regard X and Y).

OPTION C:- INCORRECT
This choice incorrectly uses the unidiomatic "slavery is not regarded ...to be the sole cause".
Also, the main clause has been written in the passive voice unnecessarily. regarded scholars to be the main cause.

OPTION D:- INCORRECT
This choice contains the redundancy *reason why*and the awkward phrasing "despite research remaining."

OPTION E:- INCORRECT
This choice incorrectly introduces an ambiguous pronoun (it) that could refer either to slavery or to the civil war.
The reasons for it being triggered remain to be researched.
