E. A captive, when turned over by bounty hunters to the authorities, is often denied due process of law.

my take :C
A is out because there is a rule that says if the first pronoun refers to one noun then similar pronoun will refer to the same noun so in A "their" refers to bounty hunters then "they " will refer to same bounty hunters .also we can classify "they " as ambiguous
B is wrong for wrong modifiers
D is wrong for its appearing that authorities are being denied due process of law
E is wrong for using "when". also the usage of "turned over " looks as if a captive is literally being turned upside down !!
