acquiescing means agreeing
A) Tilden's supporters acquiescing in exchange for the withdrawal of Federal troops--- correct choice
B)with Tilden's supporters acquiescing because, in an exchange, Federal troops withdrew -----with is wrong because it may mean that they declared Rutherford the winner along with Tilden's supporters.
C) and Tilden's supporters acquiesced when they exchanged Federal troops withdrawing --- ambiguous antecedent for 'they' --supporters or party leaders?
D) but Tilden's supporters acquiesced as an exchange and Federal troops withdrew--- No need for the contrast using 'but'
E) in exchange causing Tilden's supporters to acquiesce when Federal troops withdrew --- meaning problem.

C, D,E are straight rejects as they are manipulating the author's intent
Between B and A, A is less complex and easy to understand than B
