More than have any of its competitors, Dynacorp, which will release its annual earnings report on Friday, is staking its future on the business of bringing shale gas from formerly inaccessible locations like the Arctic and energy-hungry nations like India and China.

A-More than have any of its competitors, Dynacorp, which will release its annual earnings report on Friday, is staking its future on the business of bringing shale gas from formerly inaccessible locations like the Arctic and energy-hungry nations like India and China.

B-More than has any of its competitors, Dynacorp, which will release its annual earnings report on Friday, has staked its future on the business of bringing shale gas from formerly inaccessible locations like the Arctic to energy-hungry nations like India and China.

C-More so than any of its competitors, Dynacorp, which will release its annual earnings report on Friday, is staking its future on the business of bringing shale gas from formerly inaccessible locations like the Arctic and energy-hungry nations such as India and China.

D-More than any of its competitors have, Dynacorp, which will release its annual earnings report on Friday, staked its future on the business of bringing shale gas from formerly inaccessible locations like the Arctic and energy-hungry nations such as India and China.

E-More than any of its competitors, Dynacorp, which will release its annual earnings report on Friday, is staking its future on the business of bringing shale gas from formerly inaccessible locations like the Arctic to energy-hungry nations like India and China.

I couldn't find any flaw with D. So choose it.But the OA is E.I don't know how.Experts pl explain.

You have to bring gas FROM one energy-rich location TO another energy-hungry one, so the answer must be B or E.

From there, "has any of its competitors" in B is wrong: the competitors are plural, so we'd need "have any of its competitors". ('Any' can be singular or plural, but it typically takes a plural when used with a countable noun, e.g. 'competitors'. For instance, we'd say "Any of its competitors have the same problems", not "Any of its competitors has the same problem.")
