(A) all the proceedings of the Communist party conference held in Moscow were not carried live---if all the proceeding were not carried live , how can one watch a proceeding on tv ???some have to be carried live right !!! so v can ignore a, b ,c
(B) all the Communist party conference's Moscow proceedings were not carried live
(C) all the Communist party conference Moscow proceedings have not been carried alive

Could you please elaborate why D is wrong?I disagree when you say it's wordy.

Moreover if it was E, then "were carried live" should end with "had seena great deal of coverage" right?

(D) not all the Communist party conference Moscow proceedings have been carried alive

Proceedings of the Communist party conference in E is clear, just fix D to the question and have a look. It is not clear. ambiguous!! -- Eliminate

If OA is A, IMO B
If OA is B, IMO C
If OA is C, IMO D
If OA is D, IMO E
If OA is E, IMO A

FML!! :/
