Why "including"

Dear Users,

In the following passage, the underlined part has to be replaced by one of the answers listed below the passage:


United States Senator Daniel Inoyue was appointed to several posts within the Democratic party during his first term, than included assistant majority whip and vice-chair of the Democratic Senatorial Committee.


A) that included

B) which includes

C) including

D) some of which were

E) among them being


Question 1: Now, C is the correct answer but I'm not quite sure why, and why is it that D and E aren't acceptable?

Question 2: Can we replace within with in? I'm not sure why within is used there.


Thanks
