Because a surfeit of undergraduate students has sent class sizes soaring, the university administration has announced that it will hire more faculty members for the next school year.

A) Because a surfeit of undergraduate students has sent class sizes soaring,
B ) Because of soaring class sizes, which is due to a surfeit of undergraduate students,
C) Because class sizes have been sent soaring, which resulted from a surfeit of undergraduate students,
D) Due to soaring class sizes, from a surfeit of undergraduate students,
E) Due to a surfeit of undergraduate students, with the result that class sizes have been sent soaring,

Any sentence that starts with a 'because' confuses me. All of these sound odd so its a good practice.
