Malteses, which originated in south central Europe, have long been a prized dog when - When indicates that you are modifying something. In this case its modifying the noun immediately before it incorrectly. It is not logical to describe a dog as a period of time.

Malteses, originating in south central Europe, have long been prized dogs to - This would create awkward wording, "have long been prized dogs to Egyptians are thought..."

Originated in south central Europe, Malteses have long been a prized dog; - This describes Malteses (plural) as "a prized dog." A plural subject needs to be described in a plural manner.

Originating in south central Europe, Malteses have long been prized dogs;

Malteses originate in south central Europe; they also have long been prized dogs when - Again this describes dogs as a period of time, which is illogical.


Thus, I would have to go with D also. [/b]
