The monkey puzzle tree

The monkey puzzle tree, the hardiest member of the genus Araucaria, is a large, bizarre-looking evergreen, typically no more than 30 to 35 feet wide and 60 to 70 feet tall, although some specimens in its native habitat have been measured at over twice that height.

A. wide and 60 to 70 feet tall, although some specimens in its native habitat have been measured
B. wide and 60 to 70 feet tall, and some specimens in its native habitat have been found
C. in width and 60 to 70 feet in height, of which some specimens in their native habitat measured
D. in width and 60 to 70 feet in height, although some native specimens in its habitat have measured them
E. wide and 60 to 70 feet tall, even if some specimens, measured in the tree's native habitat,

The answer might be C
Resilience is a trait that manifests in an individual when he/she faces consistent failures motivating them to succeed in the end.

IMO: A

B.) last part misses the word "measured".
C.) "their" is an incorrect pronoun to refer to tree.
D.) last part says species measured them at over twice that height - incorrect. Specimens didnot measure themselves.
E.) "measured" is a working verb and not a particple to be used as modifier.

Thanks,
Sathish
