Even I unable to agree with Option C.
The wording 'Born in Tupelo' is modifying the word Mississippi. Mississippi cannot be be born in Tupelo... Am I the only reading this way...
I agree with OPTION E. Though there are two clauses... it is Krystal clear. In option E, Missippipi is modifying Tupelo and this contextually correct.
Please correct me with Option C.
Strange question.
