Its important to understand meaning here: WAVE RESULTED IN THE REGULATION
B - Wave CAUSED (RESULTED is better); SOCIAL-ACTIVISM WAVE is less preferable to WAVE OF SOCIAL-ACTIVISM
C-use of WHICH is inappropriate (loses significance of RESULTING)
D- distorts meaning (book CAUSED and WAVE INITIATED); WAVE resulted NOT INITIATED; Book initiated NOT CAUSED
E - Wave CAUSED (RESULTED is better)
