In 1860, the Philological Society launched its effort to create a dictionary more comprehensive than the world had ever seen; although the project would take more than 60 years to complete, the Oxford English Dictionary had been born.

IMO B.

It should be in past tense. Hence eliminate A,C, and D.
'about to be' in E is awkward.

Please post the OA.

would take more than 60 years to complete, the Oxford English Dictionary had been < - it should be past tense as author is talking as a 3rd person... like in the year X , Y castle was made...

took more than 60 years to complete, the Oxford English Dictionary was < Correct IMO

would take more than 60 years to complete, the Oxford English Dictionary was being < again past tense should be users , "that would take" is wrong when we knew now it took 60 years..

would take more than 60 years to complete, the Oxford English Dictionary was < simple past should be used
took more than 60 years to complete, the Oxford English Dictionary was about to be < Wordy " about to be "

Please correct if i wrong

Thanks

IMO D

Although signifies contrasting structure. so although the dictionary would take long time to complete, it was completed indeed.

Please let me know of my mistakes.
