Hi,
I thought that the answer was D but actually the correct answer is E. The reason I picked D) is to match the tense "have PP". Could anyone explain how come D is wrong??

C and D have "carried alive" which doesn't mean anything similar to "carried live". Alive is used only to indicate life.

I seee. I did not even notice that. I thought there should be one more mistake in D) other than the tense. Thank you for clarifying.

C and D are faulty; the use of the word alive here is incorrect. B also sounds incorrect since it alters the entire meaning of the sentence. Between A and E, E sounds correct

E will change the meaning of sentence
E will change the meaning of sentence

It should be E only.
Option a is saying that all the proceeeding are not live that is wrong.
"Not all are live" means some are live .
