Explanation
Creating a filter: in the original sentence, the phrase
"it replaces it" doubly raises the pronoun alert. The two "its" stand for
different things ambiguously. We eliminate (A) and review the remaining answer
choices for their treatment of pronouns.
Applying the filter: choice (B) uses one pronoun without
ambiguity, fixing that error, but it uses "with" as a conjunction. However, we
notice that we may be forced to use "with," since (D) and (E) also use "with."
So we'll come back to (B). Choices (D) and (E) both have ambiguous pronouns, so
they are out. Going back to (C), we see it also has pronoun errors. In choices
(C) through (E), the word "they" could refer to "networks" or "points" with
different meanings. So (B) is the only possible option, with or without "with."
I would consider the wording of choice (B) poor English style. However, in the
hierarchy of considerations, basic grammar comes first; we can use this fact to
navigate the questions and worry as little as possible about style. The correct
answer is (B).
