Based on data collected cannot modify John and Sigrid so A and B out IMO
E changes the meaning to more than one significant relationship
D gives the meaning the conclsuion took place earlier than then finding of the relationship.Changes tense "having based" and then "find"
I would go with C
Basing ... find

I agree with Vemuri.
A would be my choice too.
I feel the usage of find in C distorts the meaning - indicating that the conclusion resulted in a finding of significant relationships Vs definitely concluding the significant relationship

Based on.. seems accurate with the sentence...
The others are awkward construction

In A, the modifier 'based on.. ' is for conclusion and not John and S..
It should be C
In C, Basing their conclusion clearly modifies John and Sigrid.
You can ask for yourself,
Basing their conclusion, (who were basing their conclusion - John and Sigrid)
If you think A, Based on data collected (What is based ? Is John and Sigrid based on the data collected ?) that is incorrect.
