I am also not sure between D and E... C may be wrong (may be) because of passive voice ... other than that C also looks good

I am also split between C & E. I read all the explanation to support E; so I agree with E. salr15 wrote: vivektripathi - What is the OA for this question?

i think the sentence "A private house".......... itself states that its a building
so using the answer option i.e is a building......... would create redundacy.....
so answer E suits the best..
please correct if i am wrong
