Answer is D
Explanation:
eliminate a and d due to sub-verb disagreement as paul gauguin in wrongly placed.
Eliminate C as when should follow after years instead of where.
between d and e, later is awkward and D is the only correct choice left.
regards,
Amardeep

D has right modifiers in place. "Having" modifies Paul. This is right.
"where" modifies "Tahiti".

I agree. The only choice that mantains the parallel structure is choice D.

OA is D. "Where" should be referred to "Tahiti" not "years".
