American civil war fought between the federal government of the U.S.

I agree with Riskietech. If B is a correct choice then comma is missing. Without comma this sentence is a run-on.

Can some expert please explain how B is right here?
Is there a comma missing before fought ? or is B right as it is ?

I got to B by POE
Rejected
A- word revolved missing
C&D- we do not need the word was
E- word revolving

For B, I too really think we require a comma before fought so that it acts as a modifier.

Kudos would be appreciated ?
