We need to choose what should be subject : Singular or Plural :
non underlined statement gives us a hint, that its saying something that is done since centuries is continuing till today by the group. So its not about a single person. A person is not working since centuries .it is the group.
So we need plural here: they , their and seamstresses
A) the seamstress still pursues her art as they have : her singular, they plural ,INcorrect
(B) the seamstress still pursues her art as she has : singular ok, but we need plural
(C) seamstresses still pursue their art as they have : Correct
(D) seamstresses still pursue their art as was done : Incorrect
(E) the seamstress still pursues her art as has been done : again we are talking here singular subject: Incorrect
IMO C

I could eliminate all options except C and D.
Between them, I felt C was the right option.
Can an expert please explain the basis to eliminate D?
Thank you.
