C) begun for ratifying the Equal Rights Amendment almost two decades ago

D) at ratifying the Equal Rights Amendment, begun almost two decades ago

But Isn't the usage of begun is incorrect?

As per my understanding, Begun is the past participle of begin . Therefore it needs have/has/had as a auxillary verb.

Am I missing something here?

Correct ans is E. Has began is proper usage in the situation where an action started in the past and continues in the present..
