I would go for B.

"claims that" or "claims to be" is the idiomatic construction. claims followed by "is" is illogical and unidiomatic.
A sounds wordy and awkward compared to B.

don't u think in B which is reffering to world and thus changing the meaning of the s/c

IMO A is fine

A. to be the world's smallest network digital camcorder, the length of which is that of a handheld computer, and it weighs

Correct


B. to be the smallest network digital camcorder in the world, which is as long as a handheld computer, weighing

(reference of "which" is debatable!!,reference of" weighing is also debatable)


C. is the smallest network digital camcorder in the world, which is as long as a handheld computer, and it weighs

claims is( unidiomatic)----Reject

D. is the world's smallest network digital camcorder, which is as long as a handheld computer and weighs

Doesn't mention the reference or comparison of "as long as".Pronoun is also missing


E. is the world's smallest network digital camcorder, the length of which is that of a handheld computer, weighing

weighing...???What does it weighing refer to ..computer or the camcorder??[/color]

IMO A

Thought of D, the most concise one !! after reading the Manhattan Review post, it becomes more clear though.

@ thephoenix, @neversofsteel, @girish

Okay, OA is D agreed.

But to your query on WHICH referrent

Takeaway:

In the world, here is prep phrase ignore this fragment and then see where does WHICH relate to ...


to be the smallest network digital camcorder in the world, which is as long as a handheld computer, weighing
