a) laws, an observation about electric current first made in 1845 and
b) laws, which was an observation about electric current first made in 1845 and it is
c) laws, namely, it was an observation about electric current first made in 1845 and
d) laws, an observation about electric current first made in 1845, it is
e) laws that was an observation about electric current, first made in 1845, and is
Please answer with an explanation.

Picking 'E' becuase 'is' is required to end the undeline portion.
leaves B, D and E
B is out because 'which was' can not modify laws.
'An observation' seems to modify laws, which is not singular.
That seems to modify the patent accurately. So -> 'E'
OA??

Is not , first made in 1845 modifies the complete "an observation about electric current" or it only modifies the electiric current.
What is general rules regarding the , and modifier. Getting a clarity on this would be really helful.
