Option elimination - between D and E -
(D) Before independence in 1947, India had been ruled as a colony by Britain, which relinquished power. As sayantanc2k pointed out, "ruled" here is redundant. X had been a Colony of Y - means Y had ruled X.
(E) Before independence in 1947, India had been a colony of the British, who relinquished power - more concise than D.
