Not super sure why the answer is such.
Which are the clauses? The sentence lists the properties of the houses.
1) conical
2) cedar or pine
3) banked w/ dirt?
Doesn't 3 have to be closer to an adjective?
Thanks

Aimhigh, banked with dirt is an adjective -- an adjective expression. It's parallel as is with the other descriptors, so D and E are out right off. After that Sujay's assessments are right.
