GWD-11-30这道语法题难道没有定论吗

做GWD24套中的第9套中的第17题，答案给的是A，原题如下：

Q17: GWD-11-30

B.       according to a variety of such criteria, as by

C.      according to such a variety of criteria as by

D.      in accordance with such a variety of criteria as

E.       in accordance with a variety of criteria, such as by

虽然答案给的是A，但是我搜了一下网上的讨论，关于这个题的答案极其混乱，旧版的有的给出的答案是E的，还有些版本给出的答案是D。

查了longman，感觉according to和in accordance with基本上一样呀。

according to: in a way that agrees with a system or plan, or obeys a set of rules
　The game will be played according to rules laid down for the 1992 Cup.
　Everything went according to plan , and we arrived on time.

in accordance with sth: formal according to a rule, system etc
　Article 47 may only be used in accordance with international law .
　Use this product only in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

另外，such ... as和... such as好像也都差不多，在GMAT里都碰到过。
            

那么这个题到底应该选什么哪？这么长时间了，是不是有定论了？
