OA C

Strangely i dint see even one explanation.These IMO's concern me alot.IMO will not help anyone.
Few might think their explanation of wrong answer will confuse others.But i think presenting your explanation helps you grow alot.If it is wrong Experts will correct you, if it is correct others will learn from you.

Please do post your explanations.

Thanks

The correct idiom is known to, C has that ( E has that too, but
of humans
is wrong). Others are awkward.

A - "is" is not correct.

DATED AT is correct
also AT Which can be used.
We need to choose have made because we have HUMANS ie plural so we need to choose plural have. Presnt perfect tense is appropriate.
