If the Answer is anything other than D , then yeh I will be surprized too. Here is a brief explanation...

A. The way this sentence is written , the phrase "often his closest friends and relatives" refers to portraits, whereas it needs to refer to subjects.

B. In most cases, which and who refers to the word immediately before. In this case, who incorrectly refers to portraits.

For example: the painter, who was also very adept at .....
The tree, which was 80 yrs old ....

C. Subjects of ....
Often of ...
It should have been, Subjects of X , often his closest friends and ....

D. All the modifiers are correctly placed.

E. "Tended to be" is incorrect tense.

But in D, "the subject" is singular..

cannt that make the differenec?.i have eliminated the choice D because of that.

eg: He is my closest friend. -----------A
He is one of my closest friends. ----------B

So, both the above sentences are correct. But the sentence A holds true in our case.

Please explain

Think of it in this way

In all James Bond movies, the hero ....

the hero is different in each movie but the decription is general for all heros.

Hope this clarifies.
