Neha please do not post 1000SC questions.... they are supposed to be BAD.
Since you have already posted it, I will try and answer the question...

A fails... Modifier test..."Traveling the back roads of Hungary, <BAba & Zolt**>"
D also fails the Modifier test..."Having traveled the back roads of Hungary,<BAba & Zolt**>"


B "and they were only armed " seems wordy as compared to C
same is the case with E, it seems wordy..

A seems better than C.
