The region of Norden is comprised of five sovereign states, each of which recognize a stronger cultural bond to their Nordic neighbors than to any other cultural grouping.
(A) which recognize a stronger cultural bond to their Nordic neighbors than to - "recognise" refers back to "each", so it should be singular... therefore it should be "recognises"
(B) which recognize a stronger cultural bond with their Nordic neighbors than - same as (A)
(C) which recognizes a stronger cultural bond with its Nordic neighbors than with
(D) them recognizing a stronger cultural bond with its Nordic neighbors than they have with - not parallel
(E) them recognizing a stronger cultural bond to their Nordic neighbors than they have to - parallelism again

Official Explanation:
Answer Explanation Close
Agreement; Parallelism; Logical predication
With the phrase each of which, the sentence develops a focus on individual states in Norden. In this part of the sentence where each of which becomes the subject of the clause, the verb and pronouns referring to the subject must be singular.
A. The subject of the relative clause each is singular, and therefore requires a singular verb.
B. Each requires a singular verb; the comparison must be in parallel form with____ than with____.
C. Correct. The singular verb recognizes agrees with the singular subject each; the comparison of international bonds is in parallel form.
D. This version is wordy. It is also unclear as to what the plural they have refers to—neighbors or five sovereign states.
E. The plural pronoun their does not agree with the most plausible antecedent each. If the intended antecedent is, instead, five sovereign states, it is unclear what they refers to, and the Nordic neighbors seem, somewhat puzzlingly, to be countries other than these five.
The correct answer is C.

I want to say about choice D and E.
noun+noun modifier can work as adverb to modify the main clause. but this phrase give us a lot of trouble because it can offer many meaning relations with the main clause, some of them context, cause, effect and detail of the main clause.
so, the difficulty is that we have to choose between the this phrase, noun+noun modifier, as an adverb or this phrase as an adjective. this case is popular on gmat. the idea of recognizing in choice A , B and C is used ad adjective ( attributive). but in choice D and E, the idea of recognizing is used as adverb . attributive or adverb is better. this is hard point.
as an adverb, "each of them recognizing..." must show a meaning relation with the main clause. the meaning relation can be varied and, so, many meaning relations can be good but not all meaning relations are allowed. in choice D and E, the phrase "each of them recognizing..." can not work as adverb of the main clause semantically. this phrase dose not show context, cause, effect or details of the main clause.
