"For reasons still mysterious" seems weeird to me. How does it make sense?
Who is known today by a name Anasazi , who ruled and then abandoned a domain? (definitely human being Isn't it) ancestors? (could be) Reasons ? (nonsensical) modern Zuni and Hopi? (could be) domain of the American southwest? (nonsensical) complex roads and structures ? (nonsensical)
A and C
C) modern Zuni and Hopi had ancestors who, a millennium ago, ruled a domain in the American southwest where they built and then abandoned complex roads and structures for still mysterious reason
they does not have a clear referent because two plural nouns precede "they" - "modern Zuni and Hopi" and "ancestors"
Hence choose A

"For reasons still mysterious" seems weeird to me. How does it make sense?
i pick A. the non-underlined part of the sentence i.e. "Known today by a name they would not have recognized-Anasazi, Navajo for “ancient enemies" is incorrectly modified reasons, domain and complex roads, so B, D and E are out. C is just simply awkward to me because intended meaning is not clear. please correct me if I am wrong

#My10Secondapproach : Known today by a name they would not have recognized-Anasazi , ............................... , "Anasazi" must correspond to an antecedent , which , in this case is " the ancestors "of the modern Zuni and Hopi" , only option A comes with the correct antecedent hence answer is option A.
