[powerthelogic]

C , D run-ons. so ruled out.

A - Sound ..., prevented from dissipating its acoustic energy
B - Sound ..., prevented from having its acoustic energy
E - Sound ..., preventing ...

The subject of this sentence is Sound.

In case of A , B Sound prevented ..gives a passive tone. so not prefering .

E sounds better of the worst available options.
