Point to point : in this question watch out carefully for tenses. Tenses are important aspect of English Language.

Option A:- INCORRECT
Taking place is wrong tense as the war happened in the past while present continuous is used to denote something happening in present .

Option B:- CORRECT
Tenses are corrected and construction is beautiful.

Option C:- INCORRECT
Watch out yet again, takes place (present tense) is the wrong tense to be used in this context.

Option D:- INCORRECT
The modifier in this option is wrong from 1861 to 1865

Option E:- INCORRECT
Again, has taken place (present perfect) is the wrong tense to be used in this context; present perfect is used if something has happened in the past and still has an effect in present whereas the war is the event happened in the past and has nothing to do with present tense.
