Agree with ashwani's explanation.
IMO E.

If answer were 'E' I wouldn hv asked!!!!!
Answer is 'B'. Source of Question is 800gmat paper

Is there any explanation provided in the 800gmat paper for option B? Seems like we need to ping the experts on this one...!!!

The correct answer is B.subject/verb agreement,pronoun agreement and concision!!
Couldnt understand!!

Certainly we need experts to help us on this , but this is my try:
Subject /verb agreement: People in the Philippines uses Englog – A & D could be eliminated.
Pronoun reference: C could be eliminated: use Englog, an informal type (of English merged with Tagalog words), the most commonly spoken form of them – englog is singular/ them is plural.
Concision: Probably this might favor B over E.
Below is the sentence which I found on net. The question, probably, should have been modeled after this sentence.
Englog, in the Philippines, is an informal form of English infused with Tagalog words, a popular type of which is called Konyo English. Akin to this is Taglish, which in turn, is Tagalog infused with English words.

Dear Ganesh thanks for the effort.But in GMAT there is one world 'GMAT WORLD'.So we cant talk anything outside!!!Hope some expert notices this question and help us out.

I am confused between B and C. E couldn't be the answer because of the semicolon. The second phrase is fragment.

IMO E

In B which is refferring to what is not clear and in E the fragmented sentences makes complete meaning.

'which' generally represents the words before comma here "Tagalog words"
