or only Subject Verb issue?( non underlined part has 'has' in it) B is wrong on many counts. 'at the excavation' is idiomatically wrong. should be 'during'. for the 'has' part": should've been 'have'. so there is definitely a SV error. apart from that: 21 ceramic dog figurines themselves haven't doubled the artifcats. 'the discovery' of these 21 ceramic... 'has' doubled these artifacts. so B is definitely incorrect.

in B we have a plural "figurines" which does not go with "has nearly doubled the number "

The problem I have with E is that I have always thought that "during" has to appear with a specific time. Ex.- during one year, during Prehistoric era, etc. and never in phrases such as I drank a lot during my birthday, or I will meet my cousin during holidays. Could anybody clarify?

Could anybody clarify? Nobody is going to clarify this? And aside from that... ...was has nearly doubled the number is not the discovery (as E says), but the 21 ceramic figurines themselves (as in B). Please, thoughts on that. Thanks!

at the excavating - Idiomatically wrong, so choice B & C are out. D. Ceramic dog figurines, twenty-one of which were discovered during excavating Correct idiom used, but reflects The Ceramic d Figurines have doubled but not the discoveries.hence wrong E. The discovery of twenty-one ceramic dog figurines during the excavation - Correct, as it indicates discoveries of TCDFs has doubled.

Do we have a meaning error in B Twenty-one ceramic dog figurines discovered at the excavation or only Subject Verb issue?( non underlined part has 'has' in it)

But I don't think 'at the excavation' is wrong...  it means at the excavation place ... but yes we can go ahead and discard this option using sub+verb issue as pointed by You
