Option C is incorrect because the bold portion "concert, which was held there last week, was" essentially is a nonessential modifier but after going through the meaning of the sentence, it's evident that "held there last week" must be an essential modifier

Removing a non essential modifier does not severely impact the meaning of the sentence

Hi - A is the correct answer. But i feel that there is more of a reason then just that fact that the bold portion is an essential modifier and therefore requires a 'That'. Please help?

Anthing important to sentence should not be placed between two commas. For example. The person, who talked on phone, was loud. If you remove who talked on phone then sentence The person was loud doesn't make sense much. Same in option C.

A. concert that was held there last week was

B. concert that was held there last week and was. It's a fragment sentence. The concert that was held there last week and was what? where is rest of sentence?

C. concert, which was held there last week, was. Wrong because of above explanation.

D. concert held there last week and. And needs Parallelism but concert held raucous doesn't make sense.

E. concert, which was held there last week and. And needs Parallelism but concert held raucous doesn't make sense.

Making a clause a non essential modifier would mean it is not essential towards the meaning of the sentence. If I omit it, the meaning of the sentence will not change and what I want to communicate would still make sense. That is not the case with this sentence.
