"Theory of" is not correct in (A). "Theory that" is preferred.

I guess it would be easier to explain this question with all the answer
choices.
wrote: (A) supporting the theory of global forest fires ignited by a meteorite impact that
(B) supporting the theory that global forest fires ignited by a meteorite impact
(C) that supports the theory of global forest fires that were ignited by a meteorite impact and that
(D) in support of the theory that global forest fires were ignited by a meteorite impact and that
(E) of support for the theory of a meteorite impact that ignited global forest fires and
Using the 2/3 principle, you can eliminate A, C and E.

D changes the meaning.

Hey jayhawk2001, although i got the reason why I selected B but can you please explain a little, the 2/3 split as I couldn't figure out the split.

Thanks!!

A, C, and E all have "theory of", which you would only see in phrases like "Einstein's Theory of Relativity". That is the split referred to.
