Thanks in advance for your help with the question below:

From the GMAC Test:

Q: Based on records from ancient Athens, each year young Athenian women collaborated to weave a new woolen robe that they used to dress a statue of the goddness Atehna and that this robe depicted scenes of a battle between Zeus, Athena's father, and giants.

AC:
(A) As is
(B) Something totally wrong
(C) According to records from ancient Athens, each year young Athenian women collaborated to weave a new woolen robe that they used to dress
(D) Records from ancient Athens indicate that each year young Athenian women collaborated to weave a new woolen robe with which they dressed
(E) Again, something totally wrong

I apologize for my laziness to type the "totally wrong" AC's and also the spelling errors in the post (typing in rush befor work) but if I could please get some help with why the correct AC is "D", it would be greatly appreciated.

Are you just comparing C and D here? If so, C is wrong because the introductory clause introduces 'each year' which is incorrect.

Answer choice C: Young Athenian women collaborated to weave a new woolen robe THAT THEY USED...and THAT THIS ROBE DEPICTED.

A conjunction such as and must connect PARALLEL FORMS.
The implication here is that they used and that this robe depicted both serve to modify a new woolen robe.
The result is the following nonsensical meaning: a new woolen robe...that this robe depicted.
Eliminate C.

Answer choice D: Records from ancient Athens indicate THAT each year young Athenian women collaborated...and THAT this robe depicted scenes of a battle.
Here, THAT each year young Athenian women collaborated and THAT this robe depicted scenes both serve -- correctly -- as direct objects of INDICATE.
