between options A and E, i think we can eliminate E because "..arrowweed that are...supported.." puts the sentence in the present tense. However, the non-underlined part of the sentence states "..mojave lived.." (past tense).
I'd go with A. What is the correct answer please ?

Hi,
I would rather go with E, each refers to two different thing without any relation to roof so A,B & C is ruled out. Option D the former part of sentence doesnot go well with to be.
Only Choice E comes close, that are does not break the tense rule as we can progress through the past to present tense within a sentence with same subject.
Regards,
