Its not likely for an individual to show his military superiority over an entire city.

Its the troops that are demonstrating his superiority
What you are saying is correct. In fact that is what I have stated in my post as well. My statement above that you have quoted is my explanation for why choice E is not correct. Choice E implies that Atilla showed his military superiority...
Then this makes choice A correct

Notice the pronoun "his" in choice A. Singular "his" has been used for plural "troops". This is why choice A is wrong.
"His" Could refer to Attila

A...
B.which, led by Atilla the hun, demostrated their military superiority
C.that atilla the hun led, who demonstrated his military superiority
D.that atilla the hun led in demonstration of their military superiority
E.that were led by Atilla the Hun, who demonstrated his military superiority

OA [spoiler] B Can you please explain the options and the key take away ?
How come which refer to troops ? [/spoiler]
Is anything wrong with choice C except that military demonstrated rather than atilla himself.
