'Quarried from a site over five miles away' should modify the stone blocks, not the scientists. Therefore, A & C are out.
In B, the present continuous tense is used. That's not correct. Present simple should work.
In E, 'are still a puzzle' doesn't make any sense. Also, due to is used before a noun. Here it's a phrase.
IMO OA should be D

IMO D.
"them" goes back to define the stone blocks, although in a hazy way.
