In B, the statement talks about his position and not him.
The subject has to be Horace Pippin and not any action.

Culprit here is "being", which indicates that his hand and arm are still being crippled, i.e, the process of crippling is still going on.

Only E is correct because it states that hand and arm are already crippled by bullet
