Is it possible to answer this question without knowing the meaning of "sequestering".
Sorry, but I think its not an usual word.

Hi shailee09, yes, as long as you know what sanitariums are, you can make sense out of it: patients go to sanitariums, not the disease itself.

However, if one doesn't know either sequestered or sanitariums, then it is a tough one.

As recently as 1950, tuberculosis was never curable unless sequestered in sanitariums; today, the drug Isoniazid has made such treatment obsolete.

(A) unless sequestered
(B) without sequestering
(C) without being sequestered
(D) unless it was sequestered
(E) unless patients were sequestered

A, B, and C don't clarify who or what is being sequest(ed/ing)

D uses "it" but you can't sequester a disease, you have to sequester a person, animal, etc
