First of all....subject here is America's fascination....which for sure is singular....hence "have grown" is out of line...eliminate A&D
Likewise "that bring" is wrong....Eliminate E and C...

Continuos tense bringing is correct...Hence B

IMO B

coz the verb tense should be bringing as we are talking about it in present...

market = singular. Hence has instead of have.
