IMO-A
Better than other even I was not that much convinced with 'during the 10000 years'
B-More than that(that means what)
C-'exceeds' wrong & 'that which' is not proper construction
D-'It has been for 10,000'WRONG
E-'What it did' is not correct, the growth is the subject & Growth has not done anything
.So it is WRONG
Although what is OA?
