ESeraph

in B, it is "many people now using...." definitely wrong.So only D & E are left.

the tense in E seems too weird. So I pick D.

i chose D also.

"in the last year" should be conflicting against perfect tense.  That why I give up E.

我觉得D肯定不对，因为With...得主语是many people,逻辑关系上不通。

D中的with是有"因為"的意思

Longman dictionary:
14   because of a situation that exists:
With John away there's more room in the house.
with something doing something   
I can't do my homework with all this noise going on.

with...... 不是可以看成是独立主格结构么？
