What is the source of this ? options B and D - there is no difference . both are same.
My answer = B or D. Both choices are same.
As others are run in sentence.
We need a main verb "peered" followed by a participle ideally "returning" to explainint the purpose of the main verb " to return".

Apologies...typo. Have fixed it. D is "images for"; B is "returning".

IMO:A

returing images for is wrong! Eliminate B,C and D
Choice A: Peered - returned (Parallel)

I would go with B in above options.........

D would have been better than B if images of had been used because D has otherwise got the right construction of using an infinitive to to show the intention why Hubble space telescope peered long.

I think one more reason why D is wrong is that the Hubble space telescope can not intend to do anything, but the person operating it can have intensions.

I'm not sure though.

Please discuss.
We can straight away eliminate C,D and E. Since this is a case of "past progressive", "Returning" should be used instead of 'Returned'
