Hi,
Endocrinology dates back to the nineteenth century, ...
The part after comma should describe the period of 19th century. So, only D,E can be used.
I think 'when' is used doe a specific point of time rather than a period of time. So, I think D is better.
Hence, D
Can you post OA?
Expert comments would be appreciated!
Cheers!

IMO E

I think in D the times and when are redundant. Experts help appreciated.


Thanks

In the answer choice D, the times is redundant with the nineteenth century.

You would consider:
dates back to the nineteenth century, when
or
dates back to the times when

(The usage of the times in the later, however, is not formal. I think one uses the times, when one is not sure about time period or talks about things such as memories)

As already mentioned Looks like disparity in the ans choice.

c. falling employment rates triggered by a drop in investment, causing cutbacks in consumer spending and starting a cycle of layoffs that lead to even lower employment rates.
is the correct choice.
This time no looking back!!!
