A. Correct
B. Should not be light pulses as original sentence is talking about singular light and light pulse
C. Subj-Verb agreement issue. Should be have caused
D. light pulses should be light pulse
E. Meaning change. Original sentence says caused the light to do so and not enabling it

E: "Scientists have broken and have enabled..."
Besides the fact that E uses "enabled," is it grammatically wrong?
