Imo D.
A,C and E seems to refer to China.
Between B and D, D seems to convey apt.

I took 1.45 secs.
Several skeletal remains in Eastern China, currently known as those of large prehistoric animals, were usually assumed to be those of remains of exotic giant dragons and were widely adored.

A. currently known as those of large prehistoric animals, were usually assumed to be those of "to be those of" in the end of the underlined sentence does not make any sense. It implies, "bones of those of exotic dragons. It should be just bones of exotic dragons. Unnecessary "those of" makes this answer choice wrong. Also, the past-participle modifier "currently known as" is not precise. We will see a better version that is used in the correct answer choice, eliminating any ambiguity
B. bones known at present as of large prehistoric animals, were usually assumed as those ofagain it repeats the "those of" error of the option A.
C. now known to be large prehistoric animals, were usually assumed to be"known to be large animals?" Holy smokes. It is illogically claiming skeletal remains are known to be large animals. Paraphrasing it- Sketel remains are now known to be prehistoric animals. There should be a preposition "of" to make the reference clear.
D. bones now known to be those of large prehistoric animals, were usually assumed to be This is the correct answer choice for it neither has the structure of participle modifier (maybe) incorrectly modifying the preceding noun (Eastern China) by using an absolute phrase to correctly modify the "skeletal remains" in the preceding clause, nor does this answer choice, incorrectly distort the meaning that option C does. Usage of "known to be those (bones) of prehistoric animals" is more precise and correct.
E. presently known as from large prehistoric animals, were usually assumed as "from prehistoric animals?" "of" is a much better preposition to convery the intended meaning.

A. currently known as those of large prehistoric animals, were usually assumed to be those of- those refers to "remains here and remains is already present in non-underline part
B. bones known at present as of large prehistoric animals, were usually assumed as those of-same as A
C. now known to be large prehistoric animals, were usually assumed to be- wrong comparison here- its should be remains in eastern china now know to be remain of large prehistoric animals ........not "large prehistoric animals"
D. bones now known to be those of large prehistoric animals, were usually assumed to be-correct
E. presently known as from large prehistoric animals, were usually assumed as
- assmed as and others error too
