I was stuck between A and E. I ended up choosing A. They both look correct, but A seems a bit less wordy.

B. Awkward
C. "exceeds that which had been" is awkward
D. "Exceeds" is incorrect.

[Kuhu]

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?

OA is A
