In Option A - INCORRECT.
This option would have been right, aside it been a repetition of the question it also lack the use of punctuation mark '','' which would have giving the sentence more formation.

In Option B - INCORRECT.
This option is almost correct but lacks the continuous use of past participle tense in describing the long past event.

In Option C - INCORRECT.
This option lacks Adjectival phrase that is meant to describe the Noun in this sentence.

In Option D - CORRECT.
This option well describes the story of the past event. The sentence formation is simple and well explanatory. It maintained the use of past particle and the use of ''but'' well described that later part of the story.

In Option E - INCORRECT.
This option started well but ended not been consistent with the chosen words. Also the use of punctuation mark was omitted after the ''though''

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
