Also, it looks like option C has a tense issue since it says "who has the power of giving and of taking".
So, "has" seems to be incorrect, since it is present tense.

A which -clause is a NON-ESSENTIAL modifier. If a which -clause is removed, the rest of the sentence must be able to stand on its own. For this reason, a pronoun in an independent clause should not serve to refer to a noun in a non-essential which -clause. E: a new digital imprint division, under w...

I feel C is saying that cotton gin turned cotton cloth into two things:
