Meaning is the deciding factor in this question. What sent the prices plunging? oversupply.
Due to is not correct in this sense. Hence D and E are out.

Use the "FLIP IT!" technique to find the correct one among A,B,C.
the manufacturer has announced that it will cut production by closing its factories for two days a month Because an oversupply of computer chips has
sent prices plunging


Using FLIP IT tech with B and C, you can find that B and C are incorrect. Try it!

As discussed above Option D & E can be discarded because of the usage of "Due to".

If you consider Option B, there is relative pronoun ambiguity..."which" refers to the "computer chips".. It should refer to "plunging prices" which is because of an oversupply.

But in OG Chronological order has been used.
800 is my lucky number.
