Very Popular

Pls help me understand this one correctly...

Very popular from 1900 until the 1920’s, the renewed interest in ceiling fans began when the energy crisis in 1974 forced homeowners to look for alternative methods of heating and cooling.

(A) Very popular from 1900 until the 1920’s, the renewed interest in ceiling fans began
(B) The renewed interest in ceiling fans, which were very popular from 1900 until the 1920’s, began
(C) After they were very popular from 1900 until the 1920’s, the renewed interest in ceiling fans was beginning
(D) Ceiling fans were very popular from 1900 until the 1920’s, with renewed interest beginning in them
(E) From 1900 until the 1920’s ceiling fans were very popular, and now the renewed interest in them has begun
Looking for 780~

IMO it is B.

It is a misplaced modifier + verb tense flaw

what was very popular? celieng fan or the renewed interest in it?

also verb tense should remain simple past tense as people forced to look for alt methods so it began.

Please let me know OA.
