+1 for A (left aligned) but then I couldn't understand what B is about  
(lots of text to read...).

+1 for H (ie "Required" text) but with the orange color on the field  
name + "Required part.

I like "Required" since it makes it obvious and doesn't require a  
legend (Using "*" would require a legend).

+1 for C2 (ie all errors reported) but with error text above field  
(and not below as in C2).

For tree: +1 for D
