my doubt : i am finding it hard to reject C .though D seems oki to me but C also seems right .
my reasoning : these verses are still in use (at least the part where i live in ) so their implication is still there. thinking this ,i thought that present perfect can be used .kindly tell me if my line of thinking is correct.
thanks and regards

One purpose of the present perfect is to convey an action that started in the past and might continue in the present.
C: from which have evolved the 24,000 verse redaction of Vaisampayana and the 100,000 verse redaction of Ugrasrava Sauti
Here, have evolved (present perfect) could imply that the EVOLVING process is still happening -- not the intended meaning.
Whether these redactions are still IN USE is irrelevant.
Since the evolving process was completed in the past, the use of the present perfect is inappropriate.
