D for me 100%
(A) this indicates that N.A. migrated before the bridge existed due to past perfect.
(B) were migrating is incorrect... it stretches the time frame to continious, thus changes the meaning
(C) this says that Western Hemisphere once existed  where did it go? 
(D) migrated to the Western Hemisphere over a bridge of land that once existed
(E) same as B

(D) is 9 seconds. Reads like an old school history text. This is the Beiring Straight migration theory. That`s why so many native Americans look asian (eastern mongolian/siberian.)

Yeah! OA D.
It wasn't a difficult one but I got it wrong by selecting B...
(B) were migrating to the Western Hemisphere over a bridge of land that existed once
I thought that the tense wasnt false, since they cd have migrated over a long time-> past continuous. But what decided me to take this rather than D, was that the "once" position changed. I believed that the adverb was better placed after the verb than before...
(D) migrated to the Western Hemisphere over a bridge of land that once existed
