N was the principal corridor, means it was the medium through which XYZ happened, it doesnt mean it is the place or location where it actually happened. A uses "where"and hence sentence means that cultural influences happened at the corridor. we need a sentence that points out N as a medium and not the exact location. C is incorrect for the same reasons.

again E means the principal corridor was transmitting the cultural influences, can a corridor transmit cultural differences, certainly NOT
