Firstly,between different from and different than different from is preferred.

"Different from" is the correct idiom.

So, B,D and E are out.

Furthermore, between A & C,

"for which they were built and for which their crews were trained over the last forty years"...Look for Parallelism.... Thus A is the best choice. Also "engage increasingly" should have been replaced with " increasingly engage" in C.

No, because we don't respond to SC-1000 questions. Please read forum guidelines.
