Correct option is E. Selected as an astronaut by NASA in 1990 Dr. Ellen Ochoa had spent over 719 hours in space on three flights by 2001
Here, the given sentence has a case of a dangling modifier: the portion after the comma must begin with the noun phrase that "Selected as an astronaut..." describes which is definitely not "over 719 hours". Only E rectifies this without adding any further errors.
Ellen Ochoa is an American engineer, former astronaut and former director of the Johnson Space Center. In 1993, Ochoa became the first Hispanic woman to go to space when she served on a nine-day mission aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery.
