Hi,

The answer is A) but I thought was E)... Can you help?

At the time of the Mexican agrarian revolution, the most radical faction, that of Zapata and his followers, proposed a return to communal ownership of land, to what had been a pre-Columbian form of ownership respected by the Spaniards.

(B) land, a form of ownership of the pre-Columbians and respected by the Spaniards
(C) land, respected by the Spaniards and a pre-Columbian form of ownership
(D) land in which a pre-Columbian form of ownership was respected by the Spaniards

option c says land, respected and E says land that had been pre-columbian
Both get their meaning wrong. since what was respected was the communal ownershipand with E we get that the land was pre-columbian sine use of that immediately refer to the noun preceding it
D seems all wrong
Between A and B
The second half of B seems wrong And respected does not clearly indicate what it refers to
A it is clear what is being respected
