I think the answer is (B). A is absurd because it is passive and also is not parallel. "Them" in C could refer to anyone making the construction unclear. E is passive and D is not parallel.

This is a typical modifier SC.
How about inverting the sentence in B:
Capturing their antics with just several quick strokes of the pen, the artist captured the antics of the monkeys.
It makes sense now???

However, capturing their antics is separated by a comma and is a dependent clause that cannot stand alone. any insights?
