Hi
a town famous because of the "The Godfather" and near to those he most trusted. should both modify corleone ....... and According to Italy's top anti-Mafia prosecutor should modify the ailing mobster.
only option A does this. all the other options have misplaced modifiers. easy way to knock out answer choices is to look for modifiers of town carleone..

What's the source on this problem?
I ask because nothing is wrong with (C) that I can see. The phrase "famous because of "The Godfather"" is meant to refer to Corleone, of course--anyone who's seen the movie knows that. But the GMAT can't and won't expect you to have seen that movie, and without that pop cultural knowledge, it's perfectly logically and grammatically consistent for a mobster to be the thing made famous by a mobster movie.
