The Swiss...as in people living in Switzerland. Choice A makes it seem as if it's the curators contributtion. Choice B is correct. Choice C incorrectly uses It's when the pronoun should be referring to the Swiss. Choice D, the opening modifier is not properly place and modifies a comprehensive exhibit, which doesn't make sense. Choice E is just plain awkward. I suppose Their may be an ambiguous pronoun as well as you aren't sure if it's modifying the Curators or the Swiss.

Again, I am no expert. Just my thoughts on how I arrived at B.

Choice B due to following reasons:
A,D & E eliminated due to non clarity of their pronoun that doesnt refer to swiss
ITs most famous is ambigous in choice C as the items inlcluded are relating to Swiss designers.
