The Environmental Protection Agency’s proposal to place restrictions on both diesel fuel and diesel engines has sparked a counterattack by the oil industry, saying that the move will exacerbate the nation’s fuel supply problems.

proposal ...  has sparked a counterattack by the oil industry,  -ing phrase.

For A,  the logic  Subjective  for  -ing phrase  is "proposal".   However, the actual meaning in the sentence is the oil industry say.

A选项中的 saying...会有歧义，可以修饰the oil industry, 也可以修饰句子主语，也可以表伴随。而C 就避免了这种情况。

把选项A简化一下：
The proposal
        has sparked a counterattack by the oil industry, saying that the move will exacerbate the nation’s fuel supply problems.
根据“，doing”的用法，要么伴随spark，要么修饰前面的句子。所以只有用which says才能明确表明是修饰the oil industry。

Both的一致性  D  E

一致性  B

A  C开比
                  A是proposal  saying做逻辑主语

   C也有歧义  两种可能

1.oil industry做逻辑主语  这是不对的   industry不可能说出啥..

2.which修饰前面整句话   意思为  前面这个东西  可以表明…. 这是对的

A  C相比  C肯定好点

A：saying修饰对象是proposal

C：which没有问题，就是修饰前面的industry，在GMAT里面，which只能修饰前面的名词，而不能修饰句子，因此看到修饰句子的时候都是错的，因为这样的用法作为商业语言会产生歧义。
