This process resulted in a total of 15 new townships: of which, to date, 7 are still in existence.

(A) of which, to date, 7 are still in existence.
(B) of which number, 7 of the 15 are still, to date, in existence.
(C) of the number 15, 7, to date, are still in existence.
(D) to date of these 15, 7 are still in existence.
(E) to date, 7 of the 15 are still in existence.

Explanation says that "of which" in option A and B do not clearly refer to any antecedent.

Ron/Stacey please explain why "of which" in options A and B is not referring to "15 new townships" ? "of which" is placed adjacent to "15 new townships" in both options A and B

Please explain the correct usage of "colon:"
