E. the long-whiskered owlet, spotted in the wild in Peru's northern forest for the first time in 2007 by researchers monitoring a private conservation area B has issue of dangling modifier. C has redundancy issue in that it uses "originally" and "first". D and E don't have verb. Hence run. Answer must be A. Let me know if anything remains unclear.
