(B) that the Nubians combined artistic elements from Egypt to that
(C) the Nubians combined artistic elements from Egypt with that
(D) that the Nubians combined artistic elements from Egypt with those
(E) that Nubians combined artistic elements from Egypt and those

The OA is D.

(A) the Nubians combined artistic elements from Egypt to that -- makes clear requires 'that' - eliminate
(B) that the Nubians combined artistic elements from Egypt to that -- Issue, which is in A, cleared. Howevere, no clear antecedent for 'that'
(C) the Nubians combined artistic elements from Egypt with that -- Same as A
(D) that the Nubians combined artistic elements from Egypt with those -- Issue in A is addressed....combined X with Y is correct....
(E) that Nubians combined artistic elements from Egypt and those -- Idiom is not properly used

The OA is D.

Combined with is the the correct idiom. So C or D.
Is ' Artistic elements' - Plural the reason for those ?

(D) is the correct answer.

1. Use of THAT after MAKES CLEAR is necessary. So eliminate the choices (A) and (C).
2. COMBINED WITH is the correct IDIOM. Hence choose (D).
