Yes, the answer is B. In A and E, their is used incorrectly to define the term graphic design. Eliminate A and E. In C, the past tense is incorrect , the tone of the passage is to suggest that something fresh is happening. Eliminate C. Same in D. In D , have suggested is also incorrect, present perfect is not needed here.
B clearly defines the new additions or changing functions of the job. Hence B wins.
