First, the comfort you should have is at least all the 5 choices have "its" but nonetheless, the question is about proper comparison.

All choices except E are comparing the nations to Estonia's economy, however, choice correctly compareshave correct compares the Lithuania and Latvia to Estonia.

IMO its in E case refers to Estonia such that the statment in its expanded version becomes

Unlike Latvia and Lithuania, Estonia's fellow Baltic nations, Estonia possessed an economy that grew at an astonishing rate in the late 1990s, and at the end of the decade the country was placed on the fast track to join .

I hope that helps!

E is the only answer that does not contain a misplaced modifier - "Unlike Latvia and and Lithuania" Would need a country to compare to. A, B, C and D each compare those 2 nations to Estonia's economy which is incorrect.

As to your question - its refers to Estonia - you can rewrite the sentence Unlike Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, it's fellow nations ....

Thanks...even I picked E because it was the only one making the right comparison. However, here I am trying to understand the concept, if something like this appears in another SC. Simply put, what I am doubtful about is... shouldn't a possessive pronoun refer to a possessive noun? Or can its refer to Estonia

No, a possessive pronoun must have a nuon NOT a possessive noun.. For example it is incorrect and awkward to say : Mom's car is her possession. its rather confusing to pinpoint who the ' her' refers to- mom or daughter or any other female. In a nutshell, we need an attendant noun for the possessive pronoun..

Let X be the final clause, "and at the end of the decade was placed on the fast track to join'

A - 'it' refers incorrectly to the economy.
B - the clause X incorrectly refers to the economy.
C - the clause X incorrectly refers to the economy.
D - the clause X incorrectly refers to the economy.
E - seems a bit wordy, but it's the best answer choice.
