IMO C..

as per my understanding, while is the better choice as where indicates place.. hmm.. so that leaves us with c d and e

among c d and e, had needs to be there i guess because of after 1897,, so d is out.

C is shorter.. so i'd pick C..

guys, please post your opinions:)

we require a past participle here bcoz there r two past events following each other.

hence eliminate B n D.

also usage of "acquiesced .........................................by ........" is correct here.

hence IMO A.


Thanks!
