    My pick - D


    "Cather's" in A B and C is incorrect since we already have "of"
    D gives the correct past tense required here."...maintained that...had..."
    E misses the tense parallelism

    D is correct.
    It is simple past tense.

    Its D...the reason it cant be B is because Cather's should have been followed by maintaining..
