Experts-can you please explain how is E incorrect and C correct?
Also, can we use begun as a past tense verb? Should it not be 'began'?
And, how can 'continuing' be used as a verb by itself without 'is'?
Thanks

Which refers to immediate noun time that is y E is not correct
, a trend begun ..... and continuing..... this is not the clause thus begun here is not actually function and continuing as a verb.... instead they are mod. Phase of the trend
Consider this:
The food (eaten by the boy) was on the table
That man (running on the platform) is trying to catch the train
Another thing that I wanted to point out is mod. Concept , noun ........, PHASE (NOT A CLAUSE) if you closely look into the meaning of the sentence you will find synonyms of "trend"
Question is why we need a noun here rather than , verb-ing.... or ,verb-ed..... structure.... because the noun the sentence trying to mod. Is far away from the phase --- additional noun suppose to make it more clear
