Option B looks correct.

"principal corridor through which ...... " sounds correct.

clearcut B

corridor through is the correct idioms.

You reread all options, along with sentence, they will sound weird.

One of the reason I will avoid "D" will be to avoid having -ing construction or participial form of the verb unless sentence requires continuous tense.
I will also go with "B".

I think D would have been correct, if it would have been written like this :

for transmitting the cultural influences

IMO B.
