Well in this case which does refer to the noun preceding it but i dont understand why , given the noun in prep phrase.
My advice was not really about this specific question, but I'd again advise you not to look at this as a rule. For example, there is no rule that says that a relative pronoun must or must not refer to a noun inside a prepositional phrase.I realise it's off topic, but I couldn't help but notice that AjiteshArun used a great example of the difference between advice and advise. I wasn't crystal clear on this subtle but very important difference before I started prepping for the test.
Agree!
I heard these words are "homophones". Another famous example: effect vs affect:)
Thanks for bringing into noticeBrian123

Let's re-read the sentence as below::
Construction of X (, Extra Information,) began in AD.69, was completed a decade later ...
1: Since Construction happened in Past and "was" also denotes simple past ==> "Began" (2nd form of begin) shall be preferred. ==> B,D,E out
2: using "and" before "was completed" creates better sense as it connects to the "construction" . ==> A is out
Thus C is the answer
extra Note::
Usage of "which" adds more clarity as it refers to the "Roman Colosseum".
