(A) the higher profits made when highly paid professionals are placed, requests for whom (paralelism issue,"from" is missing)

(B) the higher profits that are made in the placement of highly paid professionals, requests for whom (same issue as with A)

(C) from the requests for highly paid professionals, who make higher profits for the agencies when placed and whose requests (meaning error, the request is for professionals, and option C says that proffessionals request )

(D) from highly paid professionals, whose placement makes higher profits for the agencies and whose requests (same issue as with C)

(E) from the higher profits made in placing highly paid professionals, requests for whom (no parallelism issues. correct meaning )

Why is option E not a run-on sentence?
After comma, there is an independent clause(Requests for whom(highly paid professionals) have increases.....)

Following is actually not an independent clause:

requests for whom have increased in the recent wave of corporate takeovers.

You could think of whom as introducing a relative clause/dependent clause.

Without whom, this would indeed have been an independent clause:

requests for highly paid professionals have increased in the recent wave of corporate takeovers.

'requests for whom ... ' is a modifying clause with a relative pronoun 'whom.' It modifies 'highly paid professionals.'
We can re-write this as 'for whom requests have increased in the recent wave of corporate takeovers.'

This would be an independent clause had it said "Requests for them have increased ..."
Then it would have been a run on sentence.
