I think there is some room for arguments to the answer of this question:
Firefighting numbers among the deadliest professions, a dangerous job which kills hundreds of workers each year.
A) a dangerous job which kills hundreds of workers
B) killing hundreds of workers
C) a dangerous job in which hundreds are killed
D) of which hundreds of workers are killed
E) a job whose danger factor results in hundreds of deaths
Please let me know what you think,
Thanks,
Ted
Firefighting numbers among the deadliest professions, a dangerous job which kills hundreds of workers each year.
A) a dangerous job which kills hundreds of workers
B) killing hundreds of workers
C) a dangerous job in which hundreds are killed
D) of which hundreds of workers are killed
E) a job whose danger factor results in hundreds of deaths
The OA given by the book was B
But I personally think C would be a better choice. In choice B, the sentence would sound like firefighting kills hundreds of workers each year. This I believe is not what the sentence is trying to convey.

IMO answer is B.
All the other choices create a sentence run-on. They contain two independent clauses without a coordinating conjunction.

Actually, none of the sentences are run-on--the other choices are mostly just wordy and awkward. Also, "a dangerous job" is probably too far away from what it is intended to modify.
That's why practice questions posted on the Internet should always be taken with a grain (or two) of salt. And let's not forget--even official GMAT questions have problems sometimes too. Unfortunately, it seems that some people, once they are told (correctly or incorrectly) that choice X) is the answer, will try to find any way under the sun to justify that choice, whether it actually makes sense or not.
