Source: — Sentence Correction |

This question has to do with the arrangement of tense.

Option A - Incorrect
The use of past perfect tense 'had' is wrong because it is explaining what has happened in the past instead the sentence is explaining what happened in the present.

Option B - Incorrect
It has the same issue as option A. The use of 'instead of' i wrong in this context, it is supposed to compare nouns rather than verbs.

Option C - Incorrect
Although it possesses the right form of verb, the use of 'instead of' is incorrect.

Option D - Incorrect
Wrong form of tense. We should use 'have' instead of 'had'.

Option E - Correct
This answer choice has the correct form of tense and the use of 'rather than' in the sentence is correct as it can be used to compare verbs, nouns or clauses.
