AnonymousIs B correct?No.
I assume A) through E) are attempts to explain the meaning of "Your term papers are due on May 20th". None of them is equivalent to that.
One equivalent is You must submit your term papers before May 21st. (Otherwise, they will be considered late.)
I'm assuming that "submit" means to have the term paper
