AS construction: AS I had walked, I became more nervous. ( i.e. Subject should follow after the comma)
(A) As exit polls are used to project the winners of an election, sometimes appearing before all the polling stations are closed, this results in their premature release influencing
"this" is almost always used as an adjective in GMAT, for e.g. this pen, this car, etc.
(B) Exit polls, used for projecting an election's winners and sometimes appearing before polling stations are closed, result in their premature release influencing -
If we ignore modifier, the sentence becomes: Exit polls result in exit polls(their) premature release influencing...
(C) Used to project the winners of an election, exit polls sometimes appear before all the polling stations are closed with the result that their premature release influences - Correct but can be made better with a comma before "with the result.."
(D) Exit polls used to project an election's winner sometimes appear before all the polling stations are closed, with the result that their premature
release influences - IMO "used to project an election's winner" should be non essential modifier in this case. Subject and the verb seem too far.
(E) As exit polls used to project an election's winner sometimes appear before all the polling stations are closed, with the result that their premature release influences - There is no independent clause in the sentence.

All other options except C and D have glaring errors.
But, among C and D, D shines out to be the best.

Quote:
Incorrect usage of "AS + Clause". Also, the usage of the demonstrative pronoun "this" is wrong as it should be followed by it's noun for it's intended meaning in the sentence.
Quote:
Exit polls (modifier) result in their premature release. Whose premature release. Just wrong construction.
Quote:
Used to project.. is a Verb-rd modifier which correctly modifies it's subject Exit polls after the comma, but the error lies in the later part of this sentence. Exit polls appear before polling stations are closed with the result that their release influences voters. What? This is just a mess. No comma before with, just a "Khichdi" of all sorts.
Quote:
This seems to have no issues. Used to project.. is a verb-ed phrase modifying the preceding noun "Exit polls" correctly. Comma + with the result... correctly acts as an adverbial modifier. Hence, this is the correct choice.
