(A) where there were cultural influences transmitted
(B) through which cultural influences were transmitted
(C) where there was a transmission of cultural influences
(D) for the transmitting of cultural influences
(E) which was transmitting cultural influences

[Mani_mba]

Option B looks correct.

"principal corridor through which ...... " sounds correct.

[gmat009]

Option B looks correct.

"principal corridor through which ...... " sounds correct.

What's wrong with D

[stop@800]

clearcut B

corridor through is the correct idioms.

You reread all options, along with sentence, they will sound weird.

[amitabhprasad]

One of the reason I will avoid "D" will be to avoid having -ing construction or participial form of the verb unless sentence requires continuous tense.
I will also go with "B".
What's OA

[vivek.kapoor83]

I think D would have been correct, if it would have been written like this :

for transmitting the cultural influences

IMO B.
OA pls

[HarvardDreamin]

B should win
