This is a very tricky modifier problem .
The subject of the sentence in the original choice is "many "conspiracy enthusiasts" , s the modifier should make sense with the subject .
Here we have three things in the list which is used to draw some conclusions .
The list is "contemporary diaries from luminaries such as Horace Walpole and Lady Jemima Yorke,records of musical compositions, and subsequent legends ."
The elements in the list should be parallel
"Using" correctly modifies the subject as the conspiracy enthusiasts are using the records.
PrayasT
Rule to follow here: Verb+ing modifier+comma+Noun.... is the form that should be used in this case.
Modified Action here is "convinced" and its in right tense form. Modifying action is the modifier itself and both have the same Doer-many conspiracy enthusiasts.
So no ambiguity there.
List of examples in the modifier is parallel, so no error there too.
Hence the only logical answer is option D.
