In 1993, Egyptologists using a mechanized robot discovered a small door in the Great Pyramid that are believed to lead to a series of tunnels under the pyramid: however, the Egyptian government has denied the archaeologists' request to open the door so we may never know what secrets the Great Pyramid still holds.

I was stuck between Option (B) and Option (E), and finally selected Option (E) as I thought that since the event took place in the past, "had denied" is the right usage, but it is incorrect.
Could someone please help explain how is Option (B) the correct answer?
P.S: Is it because the last part of the sentence focuses on the present and that is why the Present perfect tense should be used?
