Solution:
Pronoun
In A, C, and E, “they” (at the end) doesn’t have an antecedent. “They” is supposed to refer to pilots but "pilot errors" is the subject here and not pilots.
In D, “foreseeable”, being an adjective, cannot be used as the object of a sentence.
In B, “weather conditions that cannot be foreseen” rectifies the error in D.
