Vishnu, Could you pl. check the underlining. According to many versions such as in 'Beat the GMAT', 'them' is not underlined. Some others have underlined both the words 'them later. Admin can help us perhaps in this regard to get us the correct version .
But A is rather odd. 'Led to passing' is not in the vibe of standard English, I suppose. The gerund passing is not correct when a standard noun passage is handily available in some other choice. Point 2. Look at the participle 'allowing'. What does it modify? The previous clause is ' the proliferation of cybersquatters led "Did the proliferation lead the allowing? This is awful meaning.
Therefore A is out.

Great questions, billybealright!!
1. Passing vs. passage: if a verb has its own dedicated noun, then that noun is preferred; if not, v-ing is perfectly fine. e.g. Eating overnight oatmeal with protein powder makes me happy.
2. The conjunction ",and" in D&E distorts the sentence's meaning. "... A, and B" removes the intended relationship between A and B. Notice the difference between:
- bb said answering others' questions helps one to learn, and I started posting answers like this. [these two things may not be related]
bb said answering others' questions helps one to learn, so I started posting answers like this.
3. "A leads to B" makes sense only if B is some concept and not a concrete noun. Notice the difference between the following examples?
- The rising demand of GMAT led to gmatclub.
The rising demand of GMAT led to bb's founding of gmatclub.
4. Idiom: intent of verb-ing
English language is a bit messy--too many odd idioms and exceptions...
Btw, learned all these from Ron. Check out his expert explanation of this question (Study Hall video): https://youtu.be/ihbUZZTuQuM?t=4754

A- The proliferation of so-called cybersquatters, led to- what? - the passage of Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act and not passing the Anti- Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act
“Allowing companies to seek up to $100000”- what does this modify? The entire preceding clause or Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act. It’s the latter. We cannot use “allowing” because it will end up modifying the preceding clause. So we’ll have to use “which” to refer to the Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act.
Hence incorrect
B- What does “which” modify? Is it 1999 or Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act. It’s the latter. So “which” has to be placed right after Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act and not after 1999.
Hence incorrect.
C- Correct.
D- the proliferation of so-called cybersquatters, led to- what?
the passage of Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act and not the Act itself.
The use of “and” in the underlined part- “and it allows companies to seek” means that the proliferation led
to- 1) the passage of the Act
and
2) it allows companies to seek.
The “it” refers to the Act or the proliferation?
Hence incorrect.
E- Same as D
Hence incorrect

). Yes, I agree with you, and not with the earlier posts in this thread. For clarity, I suppose it's preferable to use "which" the way C does, rather than how B does, but it's not an absolute requirement; either way it's clear what the sentence is saying. The end of B is the more decisive issue.
