IMO - D . OA ??

When the choice is between more than 2 we need to use "among" which is missing in B. Hence B is eliminated.
However is genly used when we want to express some change in tone or total shift of things. but C doesnt show it. Hence C is gone.
E and A dont look grammatically correct to me.

D can't be correct as although introduces a subordinate clause...
IMO C is correct...It's between C and E

E says skiers can choose among hard rock, soft pop, “beautiful music” slopes, but ....

among x,Y and Z....and is missing here...

real2008, why don't you post the OA??
What's the use of scratching the head if one doesn't know the correct answer???
