A to be the world's smallest network digital camcorder, the length of which is that of a handheld computer, and it weighs
B to be the smallest network digital camcorder in the world, which is as long as a handheld computer, weighing

D is the world's smallest network digital camcorder, which is as long as a handheld computer and weighs

我的两美分：
1, the length of which没问题。比如我会说, I bought a ruler, the length of which is 30cm. 我觉得很ok。句子是我编的。
2, 这句意思要看懂，它是说，这个公司揭开了世界上最小的ndc的面纱（此公司自己号称最小），此ndc长多少，重多少。
3, 要搞懂claim的用法。claim有动词，有名词，用法很多意思也很多，全掌握是不可能滴。我举两个作为动词最常用的用法
a claim sth. 比如claim the ownership of the land啦, claim the title of his late father啦这里claim意思是对sth声称主张
b claim to do, claim to be, 或者 claim that 举例 She claims (that) she is related to the Queen/claims to be related to the Queen. 她声称和女王有亲属关系. （此例句摘抄于牛津。）The organization claims to represent more than 20,000 firms.（摘抄自麦克米兰）这里claim大概就是号称的意思，或者声称，断言，根据英文翻译过来就是“说一件事（在没有证明此事属实的情况下）”
4, 再来看几个split 首先to be和is 如果是to be的话，变成 it (the company) claims to be the...,意思是公司声称自己是。。。，这个算啥意思捏？不通。如果用is，吧it claims理解为插入语，那意思就是 company unveiled what (it claims) is the...
举l俩例子 The study unveiled what is the biggest animal on the earth. 又The poll revealed who is the most promising candidate.
5, 再看world's xxxx和xxxx in the world。两者本身都没问题，但是用world's可以放在名词前面，所以这两种说法哪个好，要看整句句子，比如which的指代，当然是紧跟要修饰的名词最好。当然ron说了noun+prep phrase, which也是可以修饰noun的。所以我觉得world's smallest ndc, which固然对，但 smallest ndc in the world, which也没错，但味道差一点
6, 其实这道题最好的依据是平行，如果你理解2里的句意，那你就知道它多重和它多长这两点是需要平行地表达的。所以D是最好的。因为which is...再weighs。是平行的。平行的目的是清楚而无歧义的表达，是gmat提倡的。
