consider this
'The former chairman of the planning board for 18 consecutive years'
Sounds awkward. Was the person a former chairman for all of those 18 years? Certainly the sentence is not meant to convey that.
Remove 'former' and rule out A, B, C.

D creates a run on sentence. The two parts of the sentence do not seem to be related and need a conjunction to make sense. So rule out 'D'.

E it is.
