IMO B.
E has modifier problem and changes the intended meaning
It was the earthquake that occurred last year not the buildings, which were destroyed or heavily damaged.
E has modifier problem and changes the intended meaning
Last year tends to modify "some of the buildings" instead of "earthquake".E) Last year some of the buildings that were destroyed or heavily damaged in the earth quake had been.
It was the earthquake that occurred last year not the buildings, which were destroyed or heavily damaged.
