A couple of things going on here: Idiom error and adjectival clause issues.

First off, it should be 'fascination with.' Get rid of (C). Next, notice the comma splice in (A). Also you do not want 'this' floating around without modifying a noun. For this reason you can also get rid of (D). (E) is a relative clause that requires a verb. That is, 'whose inauguration...' should be followed by a verb somewhere in the clause. So eliminate (E).

That leaves us with (B), that correctly uses the participial phrase 'marking the inauguration...' to serve as an adjectival clause modifying the main clause.

@ Chris : Verbs are needed in relative clauses always ?
