Solution

In sentence A, the sentence should read 'counting of votes from election held...' rather than 'counting of votes of election held'. The counting refers to an election from the past (albeit recent).

In sentence C, house-arrest should be singular and not plural as Miss Suu Kyi was in her most recent stint of house-arrest.

Sentences B and D are grammatically correct.
