You are right, boys. The answer is B. I am still confused with D - peoples...with separated structure and so on.
Who can explain why not so?

Although I am not a native speaker, I will try to explain.
to separate means to isolate, to detach, or to disunite.
However, the main idea of the sentence is to demonstrate a slightly different point -- there were many tribes, and each tribe had its own features, in contrast with the views of settlers. This reasoning leads us to B. Omitting a verb in B is legal.

Let's get to the bottom of this...
As written, the best answer is (E). That being said, "having" is still awkward unless preceded by "each." (B) is correct if and only if it says "each with its own."
"Each with own" sounds like Native American tribal-speak. This, of course, is ok, unless you want to do well on the GMAT.
