Two action ...

doubted and existed ... scholars doubted later about the existence of Troy ...

So it requires simple past tense for 'doubted' and past perfect for the existence ... 'had existed'

Could somebody say why D wouldn't be valid here? I would have chosen A since it "sounded" better, but why wouldn't D be a valid choice? Is it because "doubt[ed/ing] ___" is a particular idiom?
