Solution
Logical + Parallelism
A: “there are no slopes…” is an independent clause and therefore, its usage after coma leads to coma splice error.
B: 'Because' is wrong, (it's not a real cause-effect relationship; the writer is emphasizing the contrast between the availability of different musical slopes and the unavailability of silent slopes, so 'although' is better)
C: “and” along with “however” can’t be used where contrast is shown.
E: “skiers can choose among P, Q, R, but no S” is not parallel.
It should be: “skiers can choose among P, Q, and R, but not among S, T, and U”
D: The intended meaning, although there is a choice among music types but there is none without music, is conveyed well.
