pre-thinking: Going by the beginning of the sentence and the usage of 'but', the correct sentence could look like the following.
In Britian, the word 'pig' refers to something, but in US, the word 'pig' refers/will refer to something...
Let's eliminate options.
(A) the United States uses the term when referring
The contrast/parallelism is lost. Moreover, 'the US' uses the term? Sounds awkward
(B) the United States term refers
term is describing US. So wrong.
(C) in the United States the term refers
From our prethinking, this looks fine. No grammatical or logical errors.
(D) in the United States they use the term as it refers
Who are 'they'? 'as' here is used to state the function/role.
(E) it is used in the United States when referring
'Pig' is used in US, and not the term. Which is not the intended meaning.

Eliminate A B E immediately. why? well, in Britain=x in USA=y
in parallel structures x and y must be in the same form
c and d remain
pig......the term make sense
also they in D refer to who? where is the antecedent?
we go with c
