There are two examples akin to this topic: one, an original from OG verbal and another simulated one from Kaplan
OG's version
Out of America's fascination with all things antique have grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that are bringing back the chaise lounge, the overstuffed sofa, and the claw-footed bathtub.
A) things antique have grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that are bringing
B) things antique has grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that is bringing
C) things that are antiques has grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that bring
D) antique things have grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that are bringing
E) antique things has grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that bring
It is the market (a singular noun) that is bringing; Therefore OA is B.
2. Kaplan's version
Out of the public’s interest in the details of and conflicts in other people’s lives have grown a booming market for “reality” television shows that are bringing “regular” people onto the television screen with increasing frequency.
1. other people’s lives have grown a booming market for “reality” television shows that are bringing
2. other people’s lives has grown a booming market for “reality” television shows that are bringing
3. another person’s life has grown a booming market for a “reality” television show that is bringing
4. other people’s lives has grown a booming market for “reality” television shows that is bringing
5. other people’s lives has grown a booming market for “reality” television shows that bring
Here also the subject noun is said to be a booming market: Hence -that is bringing- is the correct expression; per se Kaplan’s OA is 4.
Obviously the choice is B in the given topic from Princeton

Firstly I apologize for the error made in the explanation. I am also a newbie
A little theory before we go ahead. There is something called the Exception to the touch rule. We know that a noun modifier must always touch the noun it modifies. However, the exception to this touch rule is that a vital noun modifier can come in between a noun modifier and the noun it modifies. To explain it better consider the following example:
The workers at the factory, exhausted from working a 12-hour shift, were forced to walk home.
Here, it appears as if the participle phrase exhausted from working.. is modifying the factory. However, at the factory is a vital noun modifier modifying the noun workers and hence, according to the exception to the touch rule, can come between a noun modifier and the noun it modifies.
Coming back to your question, actually it is the market that is flooding.
Read the sentence like this:
Out of this season's obsession with all things political has grown a market for official memorabilia and trinkets that is flooding the shops with t-shirts, bumper stickers and lapel pins.
Here it may seem that that is flooding modifies for official memorabilia and trinkets, however for official memorabilia and trinkets is a prepositional phrase modifying the noun market and as it turns out, it is a vital noun modifier.
Hope its clear
