IMO- E
Agatha Christie wrote some of her best works between 1920 and 1940, a period when many successful light-hearted whodunits were written.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note 1- As per the intended meaning of the sentence, Second portion after comma should act as a modifier modifying the duration between 1920-1940.
Note 2- "between 1920 and 1940"- Specify a period
Note 3- "During" Vs "In"
* "During" indicates a period or range of time (having duration) and is used to say that something happened. "throughout this time" or "sometime within this time".
* After a verb that focuses on an activity, "during" is used to indicate a period or range of time for the activity. The meaning of the verb expresses a durative action or state.
* "When" is used to mention about an activity which takes place ‘during a specific period of time’ i.e. to connect two events happening at the same time.
* When is used to say a longer action which was interrupted by a shorter action.
* "In" specifies when an activity occurs/occurred, the timing of the activity—part of day, month, season, year
* After a verb that focuses on an activity, "in" sounds awkward when indicating a period or range of time for the activity.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A. a period when ----Incorrect---- With use of "when" (as stated above) the essence of continuity or "throughout the time is lost.
B. in which----Incorrect----In referring to what is ambiguous - whether 1940 or the interval between 1920 and 1940. Use of "In" to indicate a period or range of time is incorrect. "In" used when timing of activity is to be specified, but as per passage light-hearted whodunits were written throughout the passage of time between 1920 & 1940.Sense of continuity is lost in this.
C. during which ----Incorrect-------Use of during after comma no longer seems to modify duration "between 1920 and 1940". Intended meaning is lost. Also by dropping a period it become ambiguous whether the second action took place between 1920 and 1940 or throughout the year 1940 only.
D. when---Incorrect--------when referring to what is ambiguous - whether 1940 or the interval between 1920 and 1940. Also, both action , Agatha Christie wrote & light-hearted whodunits were written, are taking place at the same time. One action is not interrupted by the other. so use of when is incorrect.
E. a period during which-------Correct----------"A period" clearly refers to duration between 1920 and 1940. Use of "during" depicts the essence of continuity of both the action simultaneously.noun+noun modifier)

Error Analysis: Because a time period is being referred and not not a specific date/time, it is appropriate to use "in which" rather than "when". "a period+in which" acts as a noun+noun modifier modifying the preceding clause.
A.a period when -Incorrect, for the reasons stated in the Error Analysis
B. in which - Incorrect, 'which' doesn't have an appropriate referant
C. during which- Incorrect, 'which' doesn't have an appropriate referant
D. when- Incorrect, just as (A)
E. a period during which -Correct, adding 'during' in place of 'in' is same.
Ans: E

A. a period when
When is used for specific time here its for the duration. Incorrect
B. in which
We can not say in which for time. During is better than this option. Incorrect
C. during which
Makes sense. During that period, which is specifying. But E makes more sense.
D. when
Only when is incorrect.
E. a period during which
It is specifying that was a period during which something happened.
Correct.

The portion a period when many successful light-hearted whodunits were written. is trying to modify the time period between 1920 and 1940. Answer choices which refer to a specific time cannot convey the right meaning.
A. a period when - INCORRECT
when here tries to refer to a point in time rather than the complete period concerned.
B. in which - INCORRECT
in which doesn't refer to the period.
C. during which - INCORRECT
during is the preposition and should refer to a period as in during this hour or during this era, it needs period definer
D. when - INCORRECT
when should refer to a point in time and there isn't one
E. a period during which - CORRECT
here 'a period during which' clearly refers to the period between 1920 and 1940
