591. Quasars are so distant that their light has taken billions of years to reach the Earth; consequently, we see them as they were during the formation of the universe.

(B) we see them as they had been during
(C) we see them as if during
(D) they appear to us as they did in

The answer is A) but why it's mixed with present/past/have pp tense??? so confusing :?

Because Quasars exist today and therefore, we can see them at present. But the formation of the universe is an action that ended that's why we need the past tense for the second part of the sentence.
