Choice d is my pick

Had is required as we have " We have realized"

and the correct idiom is "immune to", leaving choices D and E

The sentence is trying to say: the thought of ozone had been accepted but we have now......

+1 for D
first of all "immune to" is correct idiom
since the sentence says that "we have now realized" means that realization start from the past and continue till now ==> the previous sentence is an action occuring before that ==> use "had long appeared".
on the other hand, when the underlined portion mention the subject by using "it" no need to have it again after 'had long appeared'

"immune to" is the correct idiom!

He is immune to virus.
A special kind of bacteria is immune to anti-biotics.

He is immune from Virus is wrong!!

Hope you got it.

But in option D is the use of HAD correct ?
I mean does it fulfill the use of past perfect tense.

Thanks
