A,B,C - 'it' does not have an antecedent.

D for me coz E sounds to be passive, and in A, B, and C reference of "it" is ambiguous..

Could you please provide OA? I was stuck between D and E yes E is passive ,yet unnoticed is a verb so does not we need a a was/were here?
Please do not post answers visibly . Please hide them or post them later after the discussion.

E. is wrong because "although" is a subordinating conjunction and a subordinating conjunction introduces a subordinate clause and a subordinate clause cannot have a working verb. Like in this case "was unnoticed" is a working verb.

I'm having a hard time on this. Doesn't D has a meaning issue
description is mentioned in the stem. But, in option D, discovery is mentioned.

(B) but it was

(C) although it was

(D) but the discovery went

(E) although the discovery was

OA should be D.

in A, B, and C.....'it' is problematic. E uses 'Although' which is not making sense. We require some contradiction which is not coming out clearly in E
