I check a grammar book. it is said that" when the reason is the most important part of the sentence, the because-clause usually comes at the end." but here, I think you can make a choice only after comparing choices. In choice D, readers can understand "they" refer to "young female ballet dancers and gymnasts ", but in choice E, because the clause is close to "habits", the pronoun may refer to them.
