On account of a law passed in 1993, making it a crime punishable by imprisonment that a United States citizen hold gold in the form of bullion or coins, immigrants found that on arrival in the United States they had to surrender all of the gold they had brought with them.

On account of a law passed in 1993, making it a crime punishable by imprisonment that a United States citizen hold
With a law passed in 1933 that makes it a crime punishable by imprisonment that a United States citizen hold
A law passed in 1933 that made it a crime punishable by imprisonment for a United States citizen holding
Because of a law passed in 1933 making it a crime punishable by imprisonment for a United States citizen to hold
Due to a law being passed in 1933 that makes it a crime punishable by imprisonment for a United States citizen to hold

A，making…:斜视分词，既可修饰前面又可修饰后面，夹心

B，a citizen hold 主谓搭配错,with修饰的也不好

C，没有谓语

D is the best

E，because由于due to 2.涉及法律一般都用ing分词，关于E选项，偶记得OG中给出的官方解释是:due to =contribute to; ≠because or because of;因此在GMAT中，due to 一般都不会出现在句首的；且E中"a law being passed"中的being表达逻辑意思不正确,being更多表达状态，而这里的law早已在1933年就passed了；所以看到这两个关键点即可否决E；
