I'm going to say C... not too sure why though. I eliminated E first because the comma's were not in their proper places... I eliminated D because of the "and" usage.

[AtifS]

IMO C. By using 3/2 split method B & D are out so we r left with A, C and E. A out because of using as well as. now down to C & E. As far as E is concerned "miniature traditions, European, and Japanese art" here if European+noun would have been used then it was right but it's only European and then comma gives no idea of European what? so we are left with only C, which is the best choice.

What's the OA?
