Answer is E because only is grammatically correct.
B, C and D are wrong because they use the passive voice.
They in A, B and C don’t have clear referents as “theyâ€

Answer is E.
Here is why.
A) Factories in southern states like Georgia and Mississippi employed more than 300,000 workers in the late nineteenth century, but they
> Nope. They can refer to factories or workers
B) More than 300,000 workers had been employed by factories in southern states such as Georgia and Mississippi in the late nineteenth century, but they
> Nope. They can refer to factories or workers
In the late nineteenth century, more than 300,000 workers were employed by factories in southern states such as Georgia and Mississippi, but they
> Nope. They can refer to factories or workers
More than 300,000 workers had been employed by factories in southern states like Georgia and Mississippi in the late nineteenth century, but these factories
> Maybe. The word "they" is removed, but the sentence pattern does not match the original sentence. Keep it for now.
Factories in southern states such as Georgia and Mississippi employed more than 300,000 workers in the late nineteenth century, but these factories
> YES. No ambiguity + retains the original sentence pattern or structure.
I also agree with Ritesh's explanation. The independent clause should begin with factories.

E it is
A B C have modifier problems.
D is possessive and moreover the subject of the Independent clause need to be factories instead of workers.
I think you misread what I wrote. There is no trick in this questions, the subject of IC need to be factories. If you pick this, rest all choices are wrong...
