The critically acclaimed film Agent Vinod, by replacing the tack from Bollywood capers with story and spectacle, became the first Hindi film on modern day espionage, and it was only the second that came to be known for the ambition of an Indian director.
A) it was only the second that came to be known for the ambition of an Indian director
B) it was only the second that an ambitious Indian director produced
C) the second one only that an ambitious Indian director produced
D) the second one only produced by an ambitious Indian director
E) only the second to be known for the ambition of an Indian director

B) it was only the second that an ambitious Indian director produced
C) the second one only that an ambitious Indian director produced
D) the second one only produced by an ambitious Indian director
E) only the second to be known for the ambition of an Indian director
The correct answer is E but I am not understanding one thing.Comma+ and is followed by an independent clause but here in option E -
only the second to be known for the ambition of an Indian director-(what only the second)
is not an independent clause and does not contain a subject.
only the second to be known for the ambition of an Indian director-(what only the second)
is not an independent clause and does not contain a subject.

E. You are right about the usage of 'comma + and' to replace a semi-colon and represent an independent clause as a subordinate clause.
Bur here, 'comma' is used to separate the non-essential clause (without which the sentence is still complete). Additional information is provided after the comma that is not essential to the first part of the sentence.
'only the second' is parallel to 'the first' and implies 'only the second Hindi film'
