In B, D and E - the intended meaning has changed, making it an easy elimination
(A) Named after Austrian player Marcus Kann and English player Horatio Caro, who defeated reigning champion Jacques Mieses in twenty-four moves with the defense, the Caro-Kann defense has spawned several variations, including
-Gives the intention that because Caro-Kann is named after players it has spawned several variations.
- 'with' is used to show accompanying (eg: I like my tea with milk, She arrived with her friends) but 'defeated with the defense' does not make sense and should be replaced.
(C) The Caro-Kann defense, named after Austrian player Marcus Kann and English player Horatio Caro, who defeated reigning champion Jacques Mieses in twenty-four moves using the defense, has spawned several variations that include
- Correct placement of modifier 'named after...'
- 'using the defense' makes more sense

This is basically a modifier placement and subject verb-agreement problem.
(A) Named after Austrian player Marcus Kann and English player Horatio Caro, who defeated reigning champion Jacques Mieses in twenty-four moves with the defense, the Caro-Kann defense has spawned several variations, including -> modifier uses "defence" even before it is introduced in the sentence. (Wrong)
(B) The variations of the Caro-Kann defense, named after Austrian player Marcus Kann, who defeated reigning champion Jacques Mieses in twenty-four moves using the defense, and English player Horatio Caro, have spawned several alternatives, including -> are the variations named after the players, or the defense itself? (Wrong)
(C) The Caro-Kann defense, named after Austrian player Marcus Kann and English player Horatio Caro,who defeated reigning champion Jacques Mieses in twenty-four moves using the defense, has spawned several variations that include -> The modifier correctly modifies the defense, to continue explaining the new variations that have been formed. (Right)
(D) The Caro-Kann defense, named after Austrian player Marcus Kann, who defeated reigning champion Jacques Mieses in twenty-four moves using the defense, and English player Horatio Caro, and has spawned several variations that include -> Unnecessary use of "and" (Wrong)
(E) Included among the many variations of the Caro-Kann defense, named after Austrian player Marcus Kann, who defeated reigning champion Jacques Mieses in twenty-four moves using the defense, and English player Horatio Caro, are -> what is named? the defense or the variation or none of them? (Wrong)
