Between 'Them' and 'victims', the latter is preferred. (A, B and C are out)
The sentence is in present tense, hence 'has infected' is preferred over 'had infected' (D is out)
Other method is flipping the sentence.
Though in China it has infected the family members and health care personnel taking care of victims , SARS coronavirus....... ('it' is preferred over 'the virus' to have correct modifier)
That's how I came to 'E' as the answer

When you ask the following question, it would be clear why option A is wrong:
The family members and health care personnel take care of WHOM ?
They do not take care of themselves, otherwise the pronoun "themselves" should have been used instead of "them". So "them" must refer to some other people than the family members and health care personnel. However in option A, there is no other plural noun that the pronoun "them" may refer to. Hence this pronoun does not have an antecedent. Therefore option A is wrong.
