Female sparrows and immatures are quite nondescript compared to the adult male sparrow's distinctive and conspicuous markings: a black bib, a gray cap, and white lines trailing down from the mouth.

(A) the adult male sparrow's
(B) those of adult males, their
(C)the adult male, which has
(D)adult male sparrows'
(E)adult males, whose

I am stuck with C and E. To me both choices are correct but E is more preferable to me.

Can anyone explain me how to eliminate the wrong one between C and E ?

IMO C

E seemed right to me also but I think it cannot be the answer. With E, the sentence reads like this:

Female sparrows and immatures are quite nondescript compared to adult males, whose distinctive and conspicuous markings: a black bib, a gray cap, and white lines trailing down from the mouth.

IMO: The construction of the sentence is not complete because of the word WHOSE. We need some more information to complete the sentence.

C seems right because it has proper usage of 'WHICH HAS'.

Expert's comments will be very valuable here.
Thanks.

Thanks.
For the construction to be parallel to Female sparrow and immatures we need some kind of sparrow to follow the comma. Eliminate A,B, and D

The issue with E is the same as noted by Aman above.With whose the sentence is incomplete and we require more information.

On the otherhand, D gets it right by providing a non essential modifier for the adult male sparrow.
