why can not we say , which filter the carbon emissions. instead of the absolute phrase.

Of course we can.... there is no answer choice in the question with this construction though.

Automobiles are becoming more efficient, quieter, and cleaner, as are exhaust systems, they are the systems to filter carbon emissions.

(A) as are exhaust systems, they are the systems to filter

(B) as are exhaust systems, the systems that filter

(C) as exhaust systems, the systems filtering

(D) and also exhaust systems, they are systems that filter

(E) and also exhaust systems, which are systems to filter

A wrong question
We do not use more--as
correct idiom is more---than
While B is the best among the lot.

(D) and also exhaust systems, they are systems that filter

(E) and also exhaust systems, which are systems to filter

in c, "as exhaust systems" is correct. but because we have "system filtering" , we need a clause to which this phrase i attached. c do not offer a clause. B dose so. B wins
