Hi,

Here as we see the structure of the sentence, we look at a peculiar feauture
i.e cells adhere-- beating in unison and adopting. This is wrong because adopting special orientations requires a contrast here.

The cells beat in unison yet adopting.. right.

So we can see A,C,E are having "and". Can be eliminated. B is a running sentence-- so eliminated

The Correct answer is D.
