IMO A
Meaning Analysis: The bonobos do not follow a certain mating relationship and they do it by not discriminating even by sex or age.
A. Using an -Ing modifier, presents the intended meaning clearly and hence the correct choice.
B. Changes the meaning and presents the two elements in a forced parallel structure. - Incorrect
C. Presents the two elements in parallel, changing the meaning - Incorrect
D. Presents a forced purpose and result structure using so that - Incorrect
E. Intended meaning is not clear as the elements are presented as two individual events.

Official Explanation
Creating a filter: In this question, the original sentence is brief and possibly error-free, so we can move on to choice (B).
Finding objective defects: choice (B) distorts the intended meaning of the sentence. The fact that bonobos do not discriminate means they mate quite freely, so (B) has that part backwards. Choice (C) looks quite similar to (A); we can skip it for now. In (D), the phrase "so that" indicates that they do not form relationships in order not to discriminate. More properly, the first part of the statement and the second are similar, almost equivalent facts; the second one is an elaboration, not an outcome. So (D) is out. Choice (E) introduces a pronoun without reference, "it," so it's out. Deciding between (C) and (A) will really depend on the intended meaning of the sentence. Choice (C) presents the two clauses as separate, equal facts, since they are both independent clauses. Choice (A) presents them more as two aspects of the same idea, and that's truer to the meaning of the sentence.
The correct answer is (A).
