Dear Friends,
Here is a detailed explanation to this question-
Meaning is crucial to solving this problem:
Understanding the intended meaning is key to solving this question; the intended meaning of the crucial part of this sentence is that due to the new NRC bill in India many citizens are scrambling to determine whether they are qualified citizens.
Concepts tested here: Subject-Verb Agreement + Meaning
A: This answer choice alters the meaning of the sentence through the clause "has made many citizens"; the construction of this clause illogically implies that the NRC bill has produced citizens who are scrambling to determine whether they are qualified citizens; the intended meaning is that due to the new NRC bill in India many citizens are scrambling to determine whether they are qualified citizens.
B: Correct. This answer choice correctly refers to the singular noun "NRC bill" with the singular verb "has". Further, Option B correctly acts upon the independent noun "NRC bill" with the active verb "has" to form a complete thought, leading to a complete sentence. Additionally, Option B uses the phrase "has many citizens", conveying the intended meaning - that due to the new NRC bill in India many citizens are scrambling to determine whether they are qualified citizens.
C: This answer choice incorrectly refers to the singular noun "NRC bill" with the plural verb "have". Further, Option C alters the meaning of the sentence through the phrase "have many citizens, who are"; the construction of this phrase illogically implies that the NRC bill is in possession of many citizens who are scrambling to determine whether they are qualified citizens; the intended meaning is that due to the new NRC bill in India many citizens are scrambling to determine whether they are qualified citizens.
D: This answer choice fails to form a complete sentence; as "remains", "implemented", and "having" are all parts of modifying phrases, there is no active verb to act upon the subject "NRC bill".
E: This answer choice incorrectly refers to the singular noun "NRC bill" with the plural verb "have".
Hence, B is the best answer choice.
All the best!

Here, if modifiers are removed, the clean sentence becomes:
The new NRC bill in India has made many citizens, who are[/u] scrambling to determine whether they are qualified citizens.
Options A and D are out.
This makes no sense as a bill can't make citizens. As `Bill` is singular, `has` makes sense.
Options C and E are out.
B is the correct answer.
