Since modifying phrase has 'her', the main clause should refer to 'her' and so, it has to be noun and not a possessive.
B. the ski-tip of the last competitor caught the pole and somersaulted in the soft snow.
'her' cannot be the corresponding pronoun for 'ski-tip'
C. the last competitor caught the pole with the tip of her ski, and somersaulted into the soft snow.
Looks fine. Causal relationship looks good too.
D. the last competitor caught the pole with her ski-tip, which made her somersault into the soft snow.
which never refers to an idea or an action. It always is preceded by a noun/noun phrase.
E. the last competitor somersaulted into the soft snow when the tip of her ski was caught by the pole.
'caught by the pole' sounds awkward. Causal relationship is wrong. She somersaulted because tip of her ski was caught. She didn't somersault when the tip of her ski was caught.

C implies that last competitor intentionally caught the pole and somersaulted in the soft snow. Do you think someone really prefer to somersault, specially if context of the sentence describe some sort of accident.
Further, what that comma before and is doing in C. Though E is in passive voice IMO E is the best among all.
I have checked other forums as well; its OA is debatable, and it is not a good question overall.
