B)Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)
C)X-ray absorption spectroscopy
D)A and B
E)B and C

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is the best choice for studying protein dynamics as it can provide information on the movements and flexibility of proteins in solution. X-ray crystallography is better suited for determining the static structure of proteins in their most stable state. X-ray absorption spectroscopy can provide information on the coordination of metal ions in proteins but is not as useful for studying protein dynamics.
