I would have gone with D but I know the OA is B.
Guys, any reason to eliminate D or B? Please explain.
Anand.

(B) who might once have died in childhood
(C) that as children might once have died
(D) who in childhood might have at one time died
(E) who, when they were children, might at one time have died
D is wrong because it uses "in childhood" right after "who". B is better.

who , in childhood , might have at one time died
make it a probable choice?

who might once have died in childhood... now live well into old age.
