second millenium B.C - is a precise time as far as year is concerned.
one should not use in which to refer to an year
for a time period - in which can be used.

I believe D makes sense.

second millenium is a time period and not a precise time. With that logic D will collapse.

I think D still holds its ground...

'in which' is used to refer to a particular year...so it cannot be used as a pronoun for millenium but 'when' is more generic and can be used to refer to a millenium.Just my line of thought ..Im not sure abt it.
