Hi,
I believe the problem with A is the intent. A says people do not visit parks and do not see rhinos as two distinct things . But, the purpose of the doubting is whether they will visit to see rhinos after the the removal of horns. I am not sure about the tense but 'have been' sounds better because those horns were removed before the time tourists visit them and they continue to be hornless.
Anyway, experts comments would be really appreciated!
