I believe it's (C). That said, (C) isn't exactly elegant.
(A) "is having" implies a temporal state... whereby Australia is currently experiencing better relations (in which case, the verb "to have" would be incorrect), but will soon stop. It's an awkward phrasing that wouldn't be found in spoken/written English.
(B), (E) "they" is meant to refer to the British, however its placement suggests its referring to "Australia and the United States", changing the meaning of the sentence
(D) "in both nations" is incorrect because it implies that there was a "European settlement" (noun) in Australia and the United States instead of settlement (verb). It's also missing "is" from the end of the sentence.

of both Australia and the United States, Australia is having much closer political and cultural links with Britain than the United States is having;--- ‘links with’ seems to be the right idiom. Must be the correct choice.
In both Australia and the United States, they are closer in their political and cultural links in Australia than in the United States – Obviously they refers to the distant ‘The British’; but ‘links in’ seems to be a wrong idiom
of both nations, Australia has much closer political and cultural links to Britain than the United States has – ‘links to’ Britain is awkward; further we have to stretch out to get that both nations refers to Australia and the United States.
in both nations, Australia is politically and culturally linked to Britain in a much closer fashion than the United States – linked to is wrong idiom; further when you say ‘linked to Britain’, you have to say than to the US
of both Australia and the United States, they have much closer political and cultural links to it than the United States has – terrible; wht do ‘they’ and ‘it’ refer to?
I will go with A
