Verb following mathematical model should be in simple present. So B, C and E are out.
Between A and D --> D uses may have been producing. But the effect has occurred 150 million years ago. So usage of continuous tense is not correct. D is out. A correctly uses the past tense.
Answer: A

[A] that suggests that microbes living in sauropod dinosaurs produced--- looks good, since the reported speech used a relative clause introduced by the relative pronoun ‘that’. The use of simple past is relevant to describe a past event.
[B] suggesting that microbes living in sauropod dinosaurs may have produced; --- misses the relevance of using the relative clause; secondly the tense ‘may have produced’ could be better with ‘might have produced’ to gel with the pastness of the event.
[C] to suggest that microbes living in sauropod dinosaurs may have produced --- --- to suggest may imply that the researchers created the model in order to suggest rather than find out some fact in addition to the inappropriate ‘may have produced”
[D] that suggests that microbes living in sauropod dinosaurs may have been producing – may have been producing’ is wrong.
[E] that suggested that microbes living in sauropod dinosaurs had produced -- ‘have developed' and 'that suggested', do not go in tandem, aside the improper ‘had produced’.
