(A) The players were often punished by the referee’s lack of alertness who penalized ---> 'who' is pointing to 'lack of alertness'; it should rather point to the 'refree'.
(B) The referee’s lack of alertness often caused him to penalize ---> Correct
(C) The players were punished by the lack of alertness of the referee who penalized often ---> Players were often punished; refree didn't penalized often. Changes the original meaning of the sentence.
(D) Lacking alertness, the referee’s choice was to penalize often ---> Changes meaning of the original sentence.
(E) His lack of alertness to brutality often caused the referee to penalize ---> Word 'brutality' not present in main sentence.
I'll go with option B.

But how does 'him' in B refer to the referee. B states 'referee's lack of alertness', not 'referee'.
Please explain
