Based on the candidates' performances in the televised debates, many pundits predicted that the rival was likely to score an upset defeat over the incumbent senator.

Based on the candidates' performances in the televised debates
Basing it on the candidates' performances in the televised debates
Basing their assessments on the candidates' performances in the televised debates
With the candidates' performances in the televised debates used as a basis
By the assessments of the candidates' performances in the televised debates that they made

why the answer is not a?

A is not the answer because it gives the notion that the pundits are based on the candidates' performances.

Based on something, another thing.
the another thing must be based on that something. I hope I did not confuse you.

It's been a while since I worked on SC, but is the answer C? Also request you to underline the underlined portion in the question. Very, very, very difficult to answer when people don't underline the actual underlined part from the question.
Vineesh,
Just telling you what I know and think. I am not the expert. :)

C is correct. The opening phrase correctly modified pundits.
