According to a recent article on movie theater box-office receipts, ticket sales of the top 20 movies that were promoted most strongly accounts for nearly half of the $11.3 billion in movie-going spending in 2015, the rest of which came from ticket sales for the 759 smaller-budget movies that studios either did not promote or promoted relatively lightly.

Subject-Verb error. Tickets of sale is plural, whie accounts is singular
B. strongly were what accounted for nearly half of the $11.3 billion in movie-going spending in 2015; the rest coming
The semi-colon requires an independent clause after. There's not a verb, hence no IC
C. strongly accounted for nearly half of the $11.3 billion in movie-going spending in 2015, the rest coming
Correct
D. strongly, accounting for nearly half of the $11.3 billion in movie-going spending in 2015, while the rest came
Lacks a main verb

A. strongly accounts for nearly half of the $11.3 billion in movie-going spending in 2015, the rest of which came -> Incorrect because of SV agreement accounts is singular for plural subject ticket sales
B. strongly were what accounted for nearly half of the $11.3 billion in movie-going spending in 2015; the rest coming -> after semicolon the rest coming does not form a complete sentence, needed an IC which is missing, hence Incorrect
C. strongly accounted for nearly half of the $11.3 billion in movie-going spending in 2015, the rest coming -> Correct as we use comma instead of semicolon as in B. the rest coming is now an Absolute phrase - Noun + participle modifier
D. strongly, accounting for nearly half of the $11.3 billion in movie-going spending in 2015, while the rest came -> There is no verb for ticket sales as account has been replaced with modifier accounting - Hence Incorrect
E. strongly, which accounted for nearly half of the $11.3 billion in movie-going spending in 2015, with the rest of it coming -> which accounted again introduces a relative clause and hence Incorrect since ticket sales does not have a verb.
Hence C
