A quick glance through the options eliminates option D. The modifier is not suppose the modify throughout the US. So Incorrect.
In B, which is the trigger word. which refers to the noun before it. Which is referring to US -> Non sense- eliminate B.
In C, the usage of past perfect is unwanted. The past perfect is use to define the sequence of events. Nothing of that sort is relevant here. We can simply use past tense. Eliminate C. Infact E can be eliminated for the same weirdness. In E, the voting rights should modify women and not thorought the US which makes is awkward sentence.
Hence A. Clear use of past tense and logical.
