IMO B

In A they can refer back to a number of things i.e. provisions, islets, etc

In C,D and E the meaning is changed to mean
1.fisheries
and
2. oil fields of large areas under the provisions of the maritime code

rather than the maritime code applying to fisheries and oil fields.

Hope this helps
