Bunuel
(A) they were forced to move to a suburb bordering the city from their apartment
The highlighted part does not convey the intended meaning
It can be conveyed in a better way
(B) they had been forced to move from their apartment to a suburb that bordered the city
The past perfect continuous states a continued action that started , continued , and stopped in the past.
The sentence normally includes a time reference to show when the action started in the past.
Imo - we do not need a continuous
(C) they were forced to move from their apartment to a suburb bordering the city
This statement conveys the meaning better than A does.
(D) they having been forced to, moved from their apartment to a suburb that bordered the city
The structure is pretty awkward
having been is indirect , we have a better option in C
(E) they withdrew, because they were forced to, from their apartment to a suburb bordering the city
normally we would say withdrew from gambling , but withdrew here does not make any sense
Imo
C

+1 for C.
(A) they were forced to move to a suburb bordering the city from their apartment --> Idiomatically awkward "To X From Y"
(B) they had been forced to move from their apartment to a suburb that bordered the city --> Verb-Tense error
(C) they were forced to move from their apartment to a suburb bordering the city --> Correct, rectifies Verb-Tense error and Idiomatically sound "From X To Y"
(D) they having been forced to, moved from their apartment to a suburb that bordered the city --> Verb-Tense error
(E) they withdrew, because they were forced to, from their apartment to a suburb bordering the city --> Redundant
Hence, C.
