Due to is used for example when we know that Something occured only due to a certain event.
and because is used when we want to answer why did someone do that
in this case we can ask a question why did the university hire more teachers?
So because is appropriate.
If i am not wrong the OG or the Verbal review has a similar question please look into that. I am not sure about the number.
Is the answer A ??

Also the first elimination here is the Due To Vs Because
also E can be eliminated as it shifts to passive voice unnecessarily and in the process as you said it is more wordy.

Hi,
'Due to' means 'caused by' It should only be used if it can be substituted with 'caused by'. 'Due to' cannot be used to substitute 'because of' .
If we replace 'due to' with 'caused by', D and E do not make sense. Hence, we can eliminate D&E.

Cheers!

Could an expert confirm whether what i know is correct or not. What i learnt is that due to is used when you want to show that a noun happened because of some noun
The postponement of the exam was due to the uncertainty regarding how the results will be published .
Noun was due to noun
Can we also say
The rain was due to how the heat had increased in the last few days
Should "due to " be followed by a noun . Cant Due to be followed by a verb
