C : "That which brought ...."

B : "What brought ...."

C is wordy and B better conveys that meaning

A and C - special governmentally sanctioned price increase special and governmentally sanctioned are modifier for the Price increase -> modifier modifier Noun - Wrong

E - price increase during a period of wages and price controls that government sanctioned
government sanctioned - price increase - Wrong

D - Change of Tenses

Hence B
