Although Kathryn Bigelow directed a number of commercials, short films, and television shows during the 1990s, her eighth feature
film, The Hurt Locker, which was released in 2009, brought her the greatest accolades in that it won both the Academy Awards for
Best Director and Best Picture.



source: ready4gmat

A which was released in 2009, brought her the greatest accolades in that it won both the Academy Awards for Best Director and Best Picture
B released in 2009, bringing her the greatest accolades by winning the Academy Awards for both Best Director and Best Picture
C released in 2009, brought her the greatest accolades, winning the Academy Awards for both Best Director and Best Picture
D was released in 2009 and which, winning the Academy Awards for both Best Director and Best Picture, brought her the greatest accolades
E was released in 2009, winning the Academy Awards for both Best Director and Best Picture, and bringing her the greatest accolades

her eighth feature film - This phrase is in a dire need of verb also [before we start question], underline part is after comma. BDE can be easily eliminated. Problem is A and C. and both are grammatically correct.

I rather select C cause it removed all unnecessary words such as "in that". moreover C has used modifier in best way. A is very awkward with all that jargon.

Parallelism is maintained between winning and bringing.
Someone, please help me in understanding why it's wrong.

Given statement is wordy and non parallel , there is no need to place 'that' also. Option C corrects all these issues
