A,C wrong because of the use of "that" with "recipients"
B wrong because i feel it to be awkward
E wrong because changes the intended meaning of the sentence i.e recipients produced booker prizes.

I rejected B because it was using "not x but also y" and is the idiom not "not only x but also y".............please correct me if i am wrong

A. Each .... were = each is singular, out
B. hmm, awarded down the years = looks awkward, but still a contender
C. that of recipients that = first that looks awkward, does not have a clear antecedent, second 'that' refers to recipients, this is wrong, that/which can only refer to non-human beings (I read this in some thread of btg, commented by Ron)
D. looks okay, but one of a recipient = Doesn't it should be one of <PLURAL> ?
E. booker prizes ... were produced by recipients = not good

I choose B over D
