My Guess 'D'.

This sounds good both Logically and Grammatically.

"Contributions made by" seems to be a correct usage here. Hence I would go with 'D'.

The original sentence says the foundation occurred in the past; also, to use "stems"
for present perfect implies that the "foundation" is usually feature of the contributions
