I doubt OA here.....why do we need to have past perfect here....IMO we should have simple past here....
Moreover OG specifically say that one time and now cannot be parallel...
now....once = parallel.
one time...current time..... = parallel.
There is one OG question that specifically test this now/once rule.
Not sure how A is correct here.

The had been in option A is unnecessary. Other options excluding D have wrong modifier. Thus D seems to be the best of the lot
