A) what is going on “behind the scenes” can be the creation of a bare-faced look that is just as complicated as a fully made-up one.

Correct - Second verb correctly omitted after the use of 'that'.

B) what is going on “behind the scenes” can be the creation of a bare-faced look which is just as complicated as a fully made-up one.

Incorrect - Which should be preceded by a 'comma' in this case.

C) what is going on “behind the scenes” can be the creation of a bare-faced look; as complicated as a fully made-up one.

Incorrect - Incorrect usage of semicolon. Semi colon is used to separate two independent clauses that are very closely related. However, in this case, semi colon precedes a subordinate clause.

D) what is going on “behind the scenes” could be the creation of a bare-faced look that is just as complicated as a fully made-up one.

Incorrect - "Could" does not agree with the verb tense.

E) what goes on “behind the scenes” can be the creation of a bare-faced look which is just as complicated as a fully made-up one.

Incorrect - "What goes on" has a very different meaning. It cannot be substituted for "what is going on". Also, 'which' should be preceded by a 'comma' in this case.

sameeb - Why option B is incorrect ??

"Which" in option B is supposed to follow a comma. "Which" modification needs a comma before which

This is the rule to use"which" anywhere? or specifica;ly in this condition comma should be there

Hi there!

"Which", when used by itself, MUST have a comma immediately before it.

Technically, 'which', when used to introduced a non-restrictive clause MUST be preceded by a comma.

But, if "which" were a part of a prepositional phrase such as "in which", then it would not be preceded by a comma.

Hope this helps ?
