Just look at the "TENSES" to solve this question.
sentence says "Skeleton of Stegosaurus armatus found nearly a century ago" which is in Past tense.
this requires HAD & not have / has.
It's straightforward C

B. is some specimens, such as a skeleton of Stegosaurus armatus found nearly a century ago, have metacarpals articulating "that" is required. (for example: the problem with him is that he is obstinate>>>the problem with him is he is obstinate) C. was that some specimens, such as a skeleton of Stegosaurus armatus found nearly a century ago, had metacarpals articulated (Correct)
D. had been that some specimens, like a skeleton of Stegosaurus armatus found nearly a century ago, have metacarpals articulatedLike is incorrect when it is used for examples.

Its not so difficult to choose between C and E. if you closely look at the 2nd half of the sentence E doesnt have a verb. "Having" is incorrect and does not serve as a verb here. so eliminate E. C is the correct answer.
