(A) and their families have a history of high blood pressure...breaks the flow of the sentence.
(B) whose families have a history of high blood pressure
(C) and a history of high blood pressure runs in the family...awkward
(D) whose families have a history of high blood pressure running in them...
(E) with a history of high blood pressure running in their family...'and' missing

I will go with E, but if and was not included in the underlined portion, and whose families would have sounded more correct.
What is the OA?

In order to save everybody's time including yours please underline the portion of sentence to be corrected.(it can be done by selecting the sentence and clicking on u button.

Moderators can anything be done about it.

Regards,
Rahul

Ans - E

Reason - " and with" clearly describes the family of "people"

IMO B, whose is aptly modifying young people (whose can modify only people or places)
E -> with a history of high blood pressure running in their family???
blood pressure can't run in a family-awkward
