+1 for D

Compare - as x as y is correct usage in B and D
D is wordy
"of causing" is correct expression

hence B

Correct Idiom is Chance in a million of causing...so the correct answer is B.

Initially ,the tense of C and E were ok for me
but i think the use of "it" will refer to control measures rather than cause
so down to B and D
use of as ....as
I thinks its B
(It is valid use,as little risk as..)

[FightWithGMAT]

Correct Idiom is "risk of"
risk for is wrong.
