What's wrong with options B and D?

OA A
In B, it lacks a clear referent.
Eliminate B.

C: Despite being relatively isolated, the prolonged peace
Here, being relatively isolated seems to refer to the prolonged peace, implying that THE PROLONGED PEACE was being relatively isolated.
This meaning is nonsensical.
Eliminate C.

In D, at the time and during are redundant.
Eliminate D.

E: Despite its relative isolation, prolonged peace
Here, its seems to refer to prolonged peace, conveying the following meaning:
Despite prolonged peace's relative isolation...
This meaning is nonsensical.
Eliminate E.

The correct answer is A.
