i think the answer should be e but it is given as d

so that is wrong in GMAT ... it shoud be so X that Y.
But I don't know why D is correct option

[Lalitt.k]

D Is correct as E has some Pronoun ambiguity

in E : " allows to " can refer to both Turtle and design of..but in d it only can refers to turtle as " allows that it can/" means " design allows that turtle can..."

Hope i m clear

[sameerbhagwatmba1]

But doesnt "it" refer to the first noun while moving backwards? In that case it will be correctly pointing to turtle

[NSNguyen]

IMO: E
Allows - singular ( right)
Allows to ...., right idiom

B ( allow - Plural - incorrect verb use)
others - incorrect idiom ( allow)
