Option E is again based on the capabilities of the user and not of the digital system. A digital system can provide information to the users but cannot ensure enhanced learning as this does not depend on the system. All the other options have been stated as the direct benefits of 'digitalizing'.

Answer: Option C. -> the yellow jacket’s stinger is comparatively smooth, and can therefore be pulled out and used
:
C
The answer choices that begin with "in comparison" are totally redundant, because "whereas" already is a comparative world. Choice(D)is out.
Choice(A)has a very confused structure ---- when a sentence begins "Whereas [clause #1], ...", it sets up the expectation that an independent clause will immediately follow the comma. It is very awkward to get to the comma and find the word "because" introducing an intervening subordinate clause. Choice(A)is out.
Choice(B)seems to compare "the honeybee’s stinger" to "the comparative smoothness of the yellow jacket’s stinger" ---- not a comparison of object to object, but of object to quality of object. Furthermore, the pronoun "them" has no proper antecedent --- it appears to refer to "stinger", which is singular, but then the pronoun shouldn't be plural. Choice(B)is out.
Choice(C)constructs the comparison correctly and has no grammatical flaws. It is sleek, elegant, and precise. It is by far the best answer.
