Visitors to the Rodin Museum have often examined the enormous sculpture The Gates of Hell and saw figures clawing at the gates, whose eyes and mouths gape like black holes in the universe.

(A) saw figures clawing at the gates, whose eyes and mouths gape
(B) saw figures clawing at the gates, whose eyes and mouths were gaping
(C) saw figures clawing at the gates, with eyes and mouths gaping
(D) seen figures who claw at the gates, their eyes and mouths gaping
(E) seen figures who claw at the gates, whose eyes and mouths have gaped

OA: D

Please explain the difference between D and E. How should one decide to choose D and reject E?

OA: D

their eyes and mouths gaping
is an absolute phrase referring to the subject of the preceding clause figures.

whose eyes and mouths have gaped
is a relative clause referring to gates.

What is the source Neeti?
who in OA referring to thing( figures) is problematic.
Moreover, this usage of absolute modifier itself is not typical of the usages in official material.
