I dont see any wrong construction in original sentence.
The answer as you know is A
Reason Correct idiom
'So.... that'
Now lets check whats wrong with other options.
B)seems to compare two things witht the term 'AS' which is not the case here: discard
C) has word 'SO'in the middle of the sentence but it's not followed by correct idiom (that):Discard
D)Awkward start ( there might be some other errors also)
E)wrong idiom 'SO...why' :Discard

B is not correct because it seems to suggest that work force is poorly educated and trained as are the business executives.
The comparision is not correct
What i want to know is that why is D an awkward start
It is something like That AAA (some situtation) is why BBB (the reason).
Please suggest?
