I will go with B. In A, it seems that approved....is modifying the last part of sentence.

IMO A.

the act of congress did two things
1.made provision for the removal of the govt of US to new city
2.established the library.
Moreover the phrase approved april 24 1800 rightly modifies the act of congress with the rest of the sentence forming the main clause.

B - making is wrong, not parallel with established
C - very poor structure (the act of congress approved april 24,1800)
D - same as A - making provision and established are not parallel
E - made provision and also establishing are not parallel.

I pick A.

In B, the appositive "making provision.. " seems to not clearly modify the subject "The Act".
