CWhile once the union had acquiesced to the prejudices of its English-speaking members in support of

我当初选了C，答案是A
两者的区别一个是where 和 while,  一个是by supporting 和 in support of 就后面一个区别点A是比C好，可是A中的where 是什么意思呢

" Where" is used at the begining of a sentence in which the second part expresses the opposite, or something different from the first part. For example: Where most people saw nothing but a hardened criminal, Audrey saw a lonely and desperate man.

那也就是说这道题本身用where 和 while 都是可以的，主要是support 的区别，是吗？

while, where 最大的区别在于语气，前者更强调对比差异。GMAT语法考试更改作者语气是很忌讳的。出现用词的不同，双重否定，倒装，特殊用法时，选项应保持语气不变。另外如你所言，by supporting 很好
