FA is A (didn't measure time on this one :-) )

Explanation:

We have B, C, D, E:

Eliminate B:
"one of eight of" sounds incorrect. Also B has an incorrect tense. As this action had already happened in 1989, the correct form should be past perfect "had" rather than "have"

Eliminate C:
"Remains" again indicates that the battlefield is still underdeveloped.

Eliminate D & E: again a problem in the tense of the verb "to remain"
