As witnessed by the Shawnee and Choctaw nations, the Iroquois coalesced as a people in the 17th century and developed three distinct political and geographical divisions-eastern, western and southern-that created different alliances with nearby European powers.

Let's find the splits here!
First, "As witnessed by the Shawnee and Choctaw nations" is incorrect here -- it implies that the Shawnee and Choctaw nations are the ones doing the witnessing, which doesn't make sense. The Shawnee and Choctaw nations aren't witnessing anything -- we have witnessed the Shawnee and Choctaw nations coalesce as a people. So we want to use "Like the Shawnee and Choctaw nations" here. This eliminates A and B.
Next, we see "coalescing" in choice C. This removes the verb in the sentence (since "coalescing" is acting as a modifier, not a verb). That's a major problem! So C is incorrect, because it does not have a verb.
Finally, we see "that created" vs. "creating". The dashes here that separate "eastern, western and southern" can be thought of as acting like commas. Now, "that" is a restrictive modifier, which means it is incorrect to use after a comma (or in this case, a dash). You can read more about restrictive vs. non-restrictive modifiers here: That vs. Which on the GMAT
That eliminates D, so E is our answer!

Here is another version of the question. I agree that empower gmat has put the wrong OA for the question above. The correct answer should be E, but OA is D.
