The original sentence has a clear "Pronoun Ambiguity" error as it uses "They" to tell us about the most successful PR firm.
Now, In choices A (They), B (It), C (They), and E(It), we have pronoun ambiguity because "they" and "it" may refer to any of the plural or singular noun presented in the first Independent clause.
In choice D, we are using Relative pronoun (Restrictive Pronoun) "WHICH" to correctly modify the NOUN (Carmody and Rutledge, Inc) immediately before the comma. This makes the meaning clear.
(A) and they are now the most successful public relations firm in the metro area
(B) it is now the most successful public relations firm in the metro area
(C) and they are now the most successful public relations firms in the metro area
(D) which is now the most successful public relations firm in the metro area
(E) and it is now the most successful public relations firms in the metro area
Hence (D) is clear winner.

Okay so 3 merged to give one brand, which is now the most famous one
With this intent
Lets first eliminate A and B
Out of B, D and E
(E) and it is now the most successful public relations firms in the metro area
E can be removed, due to firms, singular plural mismatch
B) it is now the most successful public relations firm in the metro area
It does not correctly refer to the nearest noun.
(D) which is now the most successful public relations firm in the metro area
Which, is correctly referring to the Noun, Russell, Carmody and Rutledge, Inc
