i suspected so.. though u're probably aware, i would like to point out that 1000SC's have few incorrect answer keys.
Even though i don't claim that i'm 100% right in case of directive wala question, i'd (very humbly) advice u against depending only upon those answer keys or the discussions here to validate the answers.
No offence meant to anyone. We're all aspirants, and hence susceptible to mistakes, there is no GMAT instructor here as far as i know.
Fully agree with you, in above question as you pointed out the grammatical error about tense was the differentiation between c and d options.

Hi Puys,
The sentence begins in the present tense (is... transparent) and has no reason to switch from is to the past tense was at the end. (D) and (E) are not idiomatic; transparent enough has to be followed by to be in this situation and transparent enough so as to be combines incompatible idioms. Even though the original sentence is rather clumsy, (A) is best option.OA is Option-A:-P
