Because of the treaty of Nanjing, China had to pay the British an indemnity, ceded the territory of Hong Kong, and agreed to establish a “fair and reasonable” tariff. British merchants, who had previously been allowed to trade only at Guangzhou , were now permitted to trade at five “treaty ports” and with whomever they pleased

So your answer will be B, C, and D

A is inaccurate

E is wrong, because at this point in time, Taiwan was already an independent country and therefore, China wouldn't be able to surrender it since they didn't own it

Hope this helps
