Ask yourself what is "thriving in the free market conditions" - Television programs.
Subject is plural, so verb has to be plural
are Vs is - are wins.
B, C - out
D - out, "they" pronoun error
A Vs E - A sounds awkward
E for me

IMO B
Television programs developed in conjunction with the marketing of toys, which was once prohibited by federal regulations, are thriving in the free market conditions permitted by the current Federal Communications Commission.
(A) Television programs developed in conjunction with the marketing of toys, which was once prohibited by federal regulations, are --> the subject here is all the phrase: Television programs developed in conjunction with the marketing of toys, so are is incorrect. Besides, which ...regulations wrongly modifies for toys
(B) Television programs developed in conjunction with the marketing of toys, a practice that federal regulations once prohibited, is --> practice, referring to all the fact stated before, is correctly used to indicate the whole issue and continued by appropriate is
(C) Developing television programs in conjunction with the marketing of toys, as once prohibited by federal regulations, is --> I think prohibited here is ambiguously used: what is prohibited by federal regulations. Use of practice makes the meaning of the sentence more precise
(D) Federal regulations once prohibited developing television programs in conjunction with the marketing of toys, but they are --> they is who: programs or toys or regulations?
(E) Federal regulations once prohibited developing television programs in conjunction with the marketing of toys, but such programs are -->TV programs can't thrive in the free market. It is the practice of the developing of such programs is thriving

PLEASE UNDERLINE YOUR QUESTIONS! E, for me. gmatee wrote: Television programs developed in conjunction with the marketing of toys, which was once prohibited by federal regulations, are thriving in the free market conditions permitted by the current Federal Communications Commission.
(A) Television programs developed in conjunction with the marketing of toys, which was once prohibited by federal regulations, are Tv programs can't be developed in conjunction with the marketing of toys - i.e. you need action noun such as gerund
(B) Television programs developed in conjunction with the marketing of toys, a practice that federal regulations once prohibited, is same as A; an action can be a "a practice", not tv programs
(C) Developing television programs in conjunction with the marketing of toys, as once prohibited by federal regulations, is "as" seems suspect; what is thriving is not "developing" in gerund form, but "tv programs"
(D) Federal regulations once prohibited developing television programs in conjunction with the marketing of toys, but they are "they"? regulations or tv programs?
(E) Federal regulations once prohibited developing television programs in conjunction with the marketing of toys, but such programs are CORRECT - Federal regulations prohibited "developing", but it is tv programs that thrived

Ok, I changed my mind.  Presently I also think (E) is the best choice.
