Why is C wrong? How can we use perfect tense here, 'have' as no two events are occurring. First of all it should be Adapting and not adopting .There seems to be error in the original post moreover to show contrast although/though/but are preferred over 'while' since while can also mean (something is going on While something else happened)

Why is C wrong? How can we use perfect tense here, 'have' as no two events are occurring. +1 for D. For choice C, pronoun ambiguity "them" can refer back to "people" or "modern technologies"
