B sounds good but fear on what it refers, probably hearings.

it is a modifier problem => between B) and E) i choose B) because in the last sentence in E) the "was" refers to the "hearings" and therefore should be plural as it is in B) => "were"

B
Readin the original sentence, it is apparent that the sentence is testing the recognition of a run on sentence and how to fix it.
B does it by removing the subordinating conjunction in the second sentence and with the use of a set of relevant modifiers. The last modifier 'which' logically refers to the 'hearings' which is a bit trickier.

I choose (B), first for the fact that the modifying phrase must refer to Barbara Jordan (i.e. Barbara Jordan must be placed as close to the modifying phrase as possible). This eliminates (A), (C), and (D). Between (B) and (E), a plural verb must refer to the plural noun of "hearings", thus using the verb "were".

Although she had been known as an effective legislator first in the Texas Senate and later in the United States House of Representatives,
need to be followed by a noun.
Only B and E does it right and between them B wins outright.
