Classical error of Misplaced modifier error. Opening sentence (Modifier) should be immediately followed by modified word " Simhala Avadana frieze". Hence Incorrect

Use of COMMA to join two sentence is incorrect since it leads to a RUN-ON Sentence. Hence Incorrect.
C. Representing the blossoming of India's classical period better than any other composition, the Simhala Avadana frieze, which in the history of Indian painting is perhaps the boldest and most grandiose composition.
To understand why option C is incorrect, let's remove NON RESTRICTIVE Clause.

Now my question is whether the below mentioned option is a sentence or is it a FRAGMENT?

CORRECT

Hence Incorrect.

A. Perhaps the boldest and most grandiose composition in the history of Indian painting, the blossoming of that nation's classical period cannot be better represented than by the Simhala Avadana frieze. [color=#ff0000]wrong[/color]
Explanation: Okay so this one has multiple errors:
1. Modifier error " Perhaps the boldest........painting" should be followed immediately by Simhala Avandana.
2. "That nation's" Pronoun "That" does not have an antecedent. Not that "Indian" in the previous clause in not a noun but an adjective and hence cannot be the antecedent.
B. The Simhala Avadana frieze is perhaps the boldest and most grandiose composition in the history of Indian painting, the blossoming of that nation's classical period cannot be better represented than by it.: [color=#ff0000]Wrong[/color]
Explanation:
1. "That nation's" same error as given in original sentence.
2. Pronoun "It" is too far away to decide what is it antecedent. furthermore, it make the sentence quite awkward.
C. Representing the blossoming of India's classical period better than any other composition, the Simhala Avadana frieze, which in the history of Indian painting is perhaps the boldest and most grandiose composition." [color=#ff0000]Wrong[/color]
explanation: the Simhala Avadana frieze has not verb. Therefore, subject verb pair is missing. Note that in the clause
"which in the history of Indian painting is perhaps" "is": is verb for pronoun "which" and not for SAF
D. The blossoming of India's classical period cannot be better represented than by the Simhala Avadana frieze, perhaps the boldest and most grandiose composition in the history of Indian painting. : Correct
E. The blossoming of India's classical period cannot better represent what is perhaps the boldest and most grandiose composition in the history of Indian painting: the Simhala Avadana frieze. : Wonrg
Explanation: The meaning itself changes in this one. The painting is supposed to represent the blossoming of India's classical period. In this option "the blossoming " is the noun which is not doing the act of "representation". Hence wonrg.
