Hi,
Found this problem in the Kaplan800. Am not very comfortable with the OE.
After much thought, negated all options other than c and e. Choose E because I felt it was more paralled to the second part - 'using' in both part of the sentence. C has 'used' Vs 'using'.
Need to know, if there is a better way of arriving at the OA which is C
Thanks

This is a very relevant question in the present context of importance of meaning over grammar. Let us discuss B and C.
1. No doubt both are structurally fine . No issue about that. But B is far from the intended meaning of the original. Here the question is either headphone or nothing; but besides means in addition to, as well etc.
Thus, besides has no logical context in the given question. Whereas C, by using the word unless, carries the original meaning intact
2. In B and E you are comparing using x (a participle) with Y are prohibited (a clause). On the contrary, in C, you are comparing ‘headphones are used’ with ‘the drivers are prohibited’. A perfect foil.
IMO C is by all means the a better one than B

Expert in the making 
, but here is my take in the question.
'which allow drivers to keep their hands on the wheel', this modifier is a non-essential modifier here. If we remove this, it doesn't leave the meaning of the sentence incomplete.So, we should use a ',' to separate it, hence E is out.
A, Faulty comparison. Comparing Noun Vs. Verb
B, Correct.
C is awkward.
D, same as A
