In A, B and D, destroyed AND compromised conveys a nonsensical meaning.
If the homes were destroyed, then they no longer exist.
If the homes were only compromised, then they DO still exist.
Since A, B and D convey a contradiction in terms, eliminate A, B and D.

In E, had been built (past perfect) cannot serve to refer to a particular moment in the past (last year).
Eliminate E.

The correct answer is B.

Answer is B,, since

Last year takes had been in this sentence, have been is wrong

Then homes were either destroyed or compromised.Hence choice B

C is too wordy and ambiguous(even for the ear)
