OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
A
Not only is the entire sentence underlined, but a glance at the choices reveals that there are no clear patterns to help you eliminate multiple choices at once. The initial sentence looks good: the taxon includes a number of species, which is more than the other taxons. There are multiple modifiers, and they appear to modify the right things.
(B) has extraneous language, such as "that is" following the first comma. Also, the concluding "classified in it" is awkward. (C) has a phrase you can read around, leaving you with "The Mormyridae taxon it includes. . . " which is clearly wrong.
(D) has an extraneous "which is", as well as the "classified in it" that was awkward in (B). Also, it implies a contrast ("While. . . "), though there is no apparent contrast between the number of genera and the number of species. (E) repeats the awkward "classified in it", and separates the "203 different species" from "more than all the other. . ." Those two facts are related (and are adjacent in the initial sentence), making this construction much less clear.

The comparison here is, 20 genera of electric fish that are classified in MT is more than all the other taxons of electric fish combined has.
Eliminate B, C, D and E because the comparison is off. Also, there are other decision points such as 'it' after comma in option C is not required etc.
A remains and is the correct answer.
