Is my reasoning for the below question is correct?
The filibuster, a parliamentary device that slows the snail's pace that prevails even in the best of times in congressional sessions and tests the endurance of everyone associated with it, seems more and more an anachronism in the age of telecommunications.
(A) sessions and tests the endurance of everyone associated with it, seems
(B) sessions and tests the endurance of everyone who is associated with it, seeming to be
(C) sessions, tests the endurance of everyone associated with it, seems
(D) sessions, that tests the endurance of everyone associated with it and seems
(E) sessions, testing the endurance of everyone associated with it and seeming
[spoiler]A>> Seems OK to me - tests and slows both parallel,working as appositive modifier. Seems also follow the subject "the filibuster" correctly
B>> No verb, run on sentence. Seeming to be is acting as a modifier(present participle - I guess)
C>>create a list - slows, tests, seems but no separation.
D>>again create a list but break parallelism.
E>>testing and seeming are present participle. No real verb in the sentence , hence run on.
Correct Answer A[/spoiler]

I'm no expert, just trying to work on my skills. If I've made any mistakes please bear with me.
