E. having been hotter and more humid than was average in the rest of the Peninsula, and slowed "which" in A,C,D incorrectly modifies the Peninsula instead of weather. having been hotter and more humid than was average in the rest of the Peninsulan - E has awkward construction I pick B

E. having been hotter and more humid than was average in the rest of the Peninsula, and slowed I think B is not right. "has been" and "was" are not the same "tense". does anyone else agree?

Answer should be B,
which was hotter clearly modifies weather.

and slowing rightly modifies weather
