Queen Elizabeth I used lead-based make-up and ultimately died of lead poisoning; furthermore, lead did not seem to affect Beethoven, who was found to have 100 times more lead in his hair than normal person.

A. furthermore, lead did not seem to affect
B. however, lead did not seem to affect
C. however, lead did not seem to have affected
D. furthermore, lead did not seem to have affected
E. in addition, lead did not seem to affect

What is the source of this question ?

IMO the OA should be 'C'

We can easily narrow it down to B,C as we are depicting the contrast however should be used.

Now C is OA because it correctly uses the verb form affected.(Past Tense)

The verb form used is present perfect and not past tense. Present perfect is used whenever an event starts in the past and continues in the present.
