Official Explanation:
Answer: E
In the original sentence, the modifying phrase —
Finding the view from the mountains fascinating, - should be followed by whoever is finding this view fascinating, that is,
Caesar. Both A and C get this wrong, so eliminate them.
B is a run-on sentence since it uses a comma to join two independent clauses. The passive construction in D appears very awkward compared to the active one in E, which is the correct answer.
