In an interview last month, the rebels estimated that a few hundred of their fighters had been trained over the past two years, and they received close to two million dollars worth of ammunition, guns, and heavy artillery during the same time period.

A) had been trained over the past two years, and they
B) were trained over the past two years, and they had
C) were trained over the past two years and they have
D) had been trained over the past two years and that they had
E) had been trained over the past two years and that they have


Are there 2 things which happened in past? 1st event - HAD trained & HAD received (simultaneously) 2nd Event - In last interview they estimated ?

is this a right approach can some one please rectify me if i am wrong?

Yes, this is the correct analysis. But, as Daagh pointed out in his post above, the usage of estimated that is fishy here. Besides that you have got the tenses right.
Also, there is THAT clause parallelism at play here. That X and That Y is the correct parallelism, something that is maintained perfectly in the correct answer choice (D).
Hope it helps.
