The problem with the traditional view of stegosaurs is that some specimens, like a skeleton of Stegosaurus armatus found nearly a century ago, has metacarpals articulated in a different disposition

A. is that some specimens, like a skeleton of Stegosaurus armatus found nearly a century ago, has metacarpals articulated
B. is some specimens, such as a skeleton of Stegosaurus armatus found nearly a century ago, have metacarpals articulating
C. was that some specimens, such as a skeleton of Stegosaurus armatus found nearly a century ago, had metacarpals articulated
D. had been that some specimens, like a skeleton of Stegosaurus armatus found nearly a century ago, have metacarpals articulated
E. is that some specimens, such as a skeleton of Stegosaurus armatus found nearly a century ago, having metacarpals articulated

C why E is wrong

A. is that some specimens, like a skeleton of Stegosaurus armatus found nearly a century ago, has metacarpals articulated
B. is some specimens, such as a skeleton of Stegosaurus armatus found nearly a century ago, have metacarpals articulating - also that is missing
C. was that some specimens, such as a skeleton of Stegosaurus armatus found nearly a century ago, had metacarpals articulated - correct
D. had been that some specimens, like a skeleton of Stegosaurus armatus found nearly a century ago, have metacarpals articulated
E. is that some specimens, such as a skeleton of Stegosaurus armatus found nearly a century ago, having metacarpals articulated - part after comma i.e. having metacarpals articulated in a different disposition ->missing verb
