A. scientists are still puzzled as to how the prehistoric Britons managed to transport the massive stone blocks of Stonehenge over such a great distance without machinery.
Incorrect because of illogical comparison

B. the massive stone blocks of Stonehenge are still puzzling to scientists because of how the ancient Britons managed to transport them over such a great distance without machinery.
Incorrect. puzzling to scientists isn't conveying a clear meaning

C. scientists are still puzzled by how the prehistoric Britons managed the transportation of the massive stone blocks of Stonehenge without machinery over such a great distance.
Incorrect because of illogical comparison

D. the massive stone blocks of Stonehenge still puzzle scientists, who wonder how the prehistoric Britons managed to transport them over such a great distance without machinery.
Correct. Proper comparison to what is being quarried and clarifying that scientists are wondering how the stones were transported

E. the massive stone blocks of Stonehenge are still a puzzle to scientists due to being transported over such a great distance without machinery.
Incorrect. similar error to B, puzzle to scientists isn't conveying a clear meaning. Also "due to" being transported isn't creating a question
