why do you say that A is correct, even if free of damage claims and moving violations. It is unclear if consumers are free of damage claims, or the prices of automobile insurance is free of these claims. A is wrong buddy.

D changes meaning of intended sentence
E consumers cannot be remaining free of damage claims, the wrong tense is used.
