Ignore my question if it doesn't make sense. Going by your reason of eliminating D, option E is incorrect too because WHOSE could refer to Visitors or Figures. Isn't it?

IMO WHOSE will refer to FIGURES only - as a rule, relative pronoun refer to closest noun

Now in
Visitors to the Rodin Museum have often examined the enormous sculpture The Gates of Hell and saw
because the tense in the first part is present perfect thus to maintain parallelism , the second part should have "SEEN"

Thus eliminate A,B,C

Between D and E the split is of "gaping/have gaped" and pronouns their/whose

In E, whose is ambiguous, it can refer to both gates and figures as IMO whose can refer to both things and people.

In D, the pronoun WHO makes it clear that its "the figures clawing at the gates" who have their eyes and mouths gaping, their is a personal pronoun , it refers to a particular person/thing !
