E. Though called a palace, the ornately adorned Taj Mahal is actually the largest tomb in the world, and is surrounded - is it necessary to have "it" in front of "is surrounded"?

It is called a palace, but the ornately adorned Taj Mahal is actually the largest tomb in the world, which is surrounded by beautiful lakes with fountains and flower gardens.
At first glance, "which" should modify Taj mahal and not "world" and "It is called a palace" is unnecessarily wordy with pronoun in it and thus can be done away with the usage of a right conjunction.
A. It is called a palace, but the ornately adorned Taj Mahal is actually the largest tomb in the world, which is surrounded
B. Although it is called a palace, actually the ornately adorned Taj Mahal is the largest tomb in the world, which surrounds
C. Though called a palace, but it actually is the largest tomb in the world, the ornately adorned Taj Mahal surrounded -- Very awkward and wordy.
D. Despite being called a palace, the largest tomb in the world is actually the ornately adorned Taj Mahal, surrounding -- "being" (booooo !)
E. Though called a palace, the ornately adorned Taj Mahal is actually the largest tomb in the world, and is surrounded -- CORRECT, modifiers in place and no unwanted pronouns
