The answer is E here....

Also I think both forms of usage "evidence that" and "evidence of" may be correct. Sorry did not see this part of your question before.

(A) that the North American Indians have developed advanced full-year calendars basing them - 'them' is ambiguos

That introduces the clause and A and E are the ones

HEre we need a simple past as this was done centuries ago.

So E it is

E.

(A) that the North American Indians have developed advanced full-year calendars basing them

basing them - them refers to what? Indians? calendars?

(B) of the North American Indians who have developed advanced full-year calendars and based them

changes the meaning of the sentence, it says calendar stick is evidence for the North American Indians.

(C) of the development of advanced full-year calendars by North American Indians, basing them

same reason as that for A
(D) of the North American Indians and their development of advanced full-year calendars based

same reason as that for C

(E) that the North American Indians developed advanced full-year
calendars based

Clear and concise

Should be E.
In addition to the above reasons, E is concise
"that the North American Indians developed advanced ".
It doesnt use "who have developed " or " have developed"

i do not think evidence that or evidence of is tested here. that is used to start a restrictive clause.

I go with answer E.

I don't think there is any general rule as such.

'E'

Here the emphasis is on the evidence of the incident (Indians developing the calendars) rather than on the Indian's existence.
