A review of literature dating from before the 18th century indicated that references to trout tickling were common despite other methods of hunting trout, which were less accessible to the audience that was not familiar with modern fishing techniques.

In such reported texts, the connector ‘that’ is necessary. Drop D and E.
A. that references to trout tickling were common despite other methods of ‘hunting trout, which were less accessible’ to the audience that was not familiar --- which – wrong modification
B. that references to trout tickling were common because other methods of hunting trout were less accessible to the audience, which was not familiar ---right choice
C. that references to trout tickling were common because of other methods, which were less accessible to ‘the trout-hunting’ audience that was not familiar ---The trout- hunting, though an awkward gerund, is till ok, but it should be hinged to the methods of hunting trout rather than the audience. To sweep in one shot those other methods rather than other methods of hunting trout, digresses from the main theme of the topic.

daagh
which is not modifying 'hunting trout' , but 'methods of hunting trout'. In case of noun phrase the part of sentence after the preposition can be allowed.
The reason why B is better than A is the meaning. Despite used here distorts the meaning , thus the sentence A does not make any sense.
A=> A review of literature indicated that reference to TT were common despite other methods of hunting trout,which were less accessible to the audience that was not familiar..... > no sense
B=> A review of literature indicated that references to TT were common because other methods of hunting trout were less accessible to the audience, which was not familiar => better
