(A) earlier, even though they had shown no signs of the disease then : correct AO. meaning is correct
(B) earlier, but they were not showing no signs of the disease then . incorrect contrast. but here contrasts what scientists noted and hence they here might refer to scientists.
(C) earlier, no outward signs of the disease had been shown in them, however
(D) earlier without any signs of the disease shown then Awkward
(E) earlier, even though no signs of it were seen in them at that time [/b]
