题目分析：
本题的意思是：自从人类有能力发生卫星，在地球的轨道周边就开始有越来越多的垃圾，经常是来自于某些有意丢掉的油箱什么的。
选项分析：
A选项：语法有误。最后一个词because是连词，其身后必须连接一个句子，不能是一个名词短语。
B选项：Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
C选项：often resulting from the intentional discarding of lens caps, packing material, fuel tanks, and payload covers是一个现在分词短语。在语法上，句末出现的现在分词短语通常都是伴随状语。因此，result的主语只能是其所修饰的句子的主语orbits。在逻辑上，“轨道”不能是“有意丢掉油箱等废物”的结果。
D选项：there be句型的核心词是“有”。即，本句主干的意思是：
这里有很多垃圾。
在逻辑上，“有意丢掉油箱”结果应该是“地球轨道周围变得越来越脏”，而不是“这里有很多垃圾”。（只有地球周边会变得垃圾越来越多，因为故意丢弃的东西都是地球人弄出的东西）
E选项：本选项错误同(D)。
关于there be ron的回答：
there is nothing wrong with saying 'there is x'. this construction is basically equivalent to 'x exists' (if x is a thing), or 'x happens' (if x is an event).
the problem, though, is that "the intentional discarding of lens caps, packing material , fuel tanks and payload covers" IS the "littering".
so, sentences D and E are not logical.
because of' must be followed by SOMETHING ELSE that is actually the cause of something.
'with' should be followed by a component or part of the previous observation.
note that the correct answer is phrased in a way that removes this problem.
the correct answer says "orbits ... have become more and more littered". in this version, "littered" means roughly the same as 'dirty' or 'polluted'.
