IMO E

At the time of the Mexican agrarian revolution, the most radical faction, that of Zapata and his followers, proposed a return to communal ownership of land, to what had been a pre-Columbian form of ownership respected by the Spaniards.

A.land, to what had been a pre-Columbian form of ownership respected by the Spaniards - use of 'to' is inappropriate

B.land, a form of ownership of the pre-Columbians and respected by the Spaniards - problem with parallelism.

C.land, respected by the Spaniards and a pre-Columbian form of ownership -problem with parallelism.

D.land in which a pre-Columbian form of ownership was respected by the Spaniards - changes meaning

E.land that had been a pre-Columbian form of ownership respected by the Spaniards - Correct
