OA is E
The original sentence does not contain any verb tense error. But I did choose an incorrect one that contains such an error. Why dont we use "they had visited" here?
I eliminated B,C,E as they do not have "had", and came up with an wrong answer, A.

We can't use past perfect here because events occur during the same time period. So, they must be in the same tense.
