its good question but not posted in detail. since you have not provided the ful question, D and E are not known why they are wrong.

C, your choice, is a clear wrong because it is in passive. try avoiding passive mood, selecting active.

A is not a complete. after and "Arther’s coffin marked with the inscription" should be a clause but it is not. therefore it is wrong..

so remains B.
