Since we're listing two types of crude oil, we need a linking word between them. A and D use "and", C uses "while, and B and E don't use a linking word at all. We can get rid of B and E.

"While" doesn't make sense in this context, so really we're choosing between A and D. D is better: "a light, brown oil AND a heavy, black oil."
