C is fine.
Rest all are ugly.
Wrong comparison in A and D
E has the concept all wrong. Non restrictive clause has been made restrictive and the meaning is different.
B, besides is unable to make a comparison or contrast.

I was trying to choose between B and C, but B seems to be more awkward. My choice is C

OA is indeed C.
I thought "which" clause can only modify a singular noun. Only "that" clause can modify plural noun. However, this case does not follow the rule.
Can anyone explain the usage of "which" clause vs "that" clause?

Using headset telephones is fun.
Noun / Gerund phrase + is fun.

I will pick C
which is used to provide "extra" information.
That is used to provide information which is essential for a sentence

C. Not the best written sentence, but the best among the choices.
A, B, D and E make a wrong comparison between 'telephones' and 'drivers'.
