Great question!
C and E appear to be strong contenders.
C is based on the finding of paintings but the source of findings is not authenticated.
E is based on the findings of chemical composition of feathers and is also given that the chemical composition strongly suggests that they are feathers. This gives an added advantage to E over C.
Thus, E.

Cant frills be white and orange coloured
Moreover just because the outline was found to be white and orange coloured , how could 1 presume that the outline actually consisted of feathers.
Well i myself chose E. but cant c be correct.
Agreed that the carvings could be a figment of imagination but the same could be said about D.

Which of the following if true...
The chemical composition revealed that the outline was made of white and orange colours , strongly suggesting the display function of feathers as in peacocks --> I doubt whether you can question something that has been bestowed with the distinction of a 'fact' by the question stem. Correct me if I am wrong.
Conclusion - The outline was not that of feathers but rather of frills.
Reason - Flight not possible because of structure and insulation not possible because of outline's position.
A chemical composition has suggested feathers - That perhaps is a more pressing evidence against the conclusion.
Merely suggesting that carvings depicting flying dinosaurs were found does not help, IMO.
What is the OA btw?
