题目分析：
略

选项分析：

A选项：due to身后的核心词为moisture，在逻辑上，金字塔需要关门维修（the chambers inside the pyramid of the Pharaoh Menkaure at Giza were closed to visitors for cleaning and repair）的原因应该是因为湿气上升了湿度这种行为，而不是因为某种湿气；本选项which raised会跳过tourists而修饰moisture，这是因为which只能修饰物，修饰人应该用who。

B选项：due to身后的核心词错误同(A)；thereby raising是伴随状语，其应该伴随就近的句子（状语的就近修饰原则），即，tourists had exhaled，所以raise的主语是tourists，在逻辑上，上升湿度的（raised the humidity）的应该是湿气（moisture），而不是游客（tourists）；salt from the stone would crystallize和fungus was growing on the walls是湿度上升的两个结果，因此两者应该在语法上保持平行，时态也需要相同。

C选项：because是连词，身后必须接句子，一般句子的核心词为动词，即，exhale，在逻辑上，金字塔需要关门维修（the chambers inside the pyramid of the Pharaoh Menkaure at Giza were closed to visitors for cleaning and repair）的原因应该是因为湿气上升了湿度这种行为而不是因为游客呼出湿气这种行为；salt from the stone would crystallize和fungus was growing on the walls的平行错误同(B)。

D选项：because of身后核心词的错误同(A)（raising the humidity是moisture that was exhaled by tourists的限定性定语）；salt from the stone would crystallize和fungus was growing on the walls的平行错误同(B)。

E选项：Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。exhaled by tourists是过去分词短语，做限定性定语修饰moisture。
