Explanation:

The original bolded sentence "In contrast, the landing at Omaha Beach much more treacherous" is a fragment as it lacks a verb. The first option "In contrast, the landing at Omaha Beach was much more treacherous" adds the verb "was" to make it a complete sentence. "While" and "Whereas" are subordinating conjunctions that would create a dependent clause here, and they are not used correctly in the context of starting a new independent clause with the given structure. So the first option is the correct revision.

Answer:

A. In contrast, the landing at Omaha Beach was much more treacherous.
