I dont think the right choice is in the options.

The correct sentence should go like:

Computers are becoming faster, more powerful, and more reliable, and so are modems, the devices that allow two or more computers to share information over regular telephone lines.

Choice B is right. The So too.. is the correct idiomatic usage. The problem with choice A is They is ambiguous whether it refers to computers or Modems. The choice C,D & E are awkward and wordy.
