A. Concerns about public health led to the construction between 1876 and 1904 of three separate sewer systems to serve
B. Concerns about public health have led to the construction of three separate sewer systems between 1876 and 1904 to serve
C. Concerns about public health have led between 1876 and 1904 to the construction of three separate sewer systems for serving
D. There were concerns about public health leading to the construction between 1876 and 1904 of three separate sewer systems serving
E. There were concerns leading between 1876 and 1904 to the construction of three separate sewer systems for serving


I'll go for A.

in B and C use of have is not correct because "concerns" happened in past.
D and E are ackward and wordy construction.

It is A for sure

there is no need to use 'have led' when a simple 'led' will do

Agree with you...No need for "have led"..... simple past would do
