When you have two actions happening in the past and one action preceding another...You are supposed to use past perfect for the later action and simple past for the later past action...
Past perfect follows this construction..
Had + Past Participle...
Now, when your verb indicating the preceding action is has...You should be using the past perfect of this verb...that is had....
So, had had construction is perfectly fine, a point given in the manhattan SC guide, 2003 version...
A-> Perfectly fine..
B-> You cant use present perfect here, a tense indicated by has had construction..
C-> This option uses simple past for the preceding past action when sequence of actions demands past perfect for preceding action.
D-> Avoid Having + past participle construction on GMAT... Simple past is used when you must past perfect..
E-> Same as D...
