Technological innovations such as the internet, which proliferated at a pace seemingly unique in the 21st century, were in fact similar to the explosion of new technology during the industrial revolution that drastically changed life in analogous ways in the 18th century.

KarishmaB MartyTargetTestPrep (@MartyMurray) Can you please critique my answer? I understand the present perfect tense concept (thanks to
MartyTargetTestPrep) and that the usage of "which" is incorrect. My findings are in addition to those.
Thank you!
(A) Technological innovations such as the internet, which proliferated at a pace seemingly unique in the 21st century, were in fact similar to the explosion of new technology during the industrial revolution that
If I go by the meaning, internet cannot proliferate, but something like the pace of innovation or the innovation itself can proliferate. So, the meaning does not make sense. (B) The impact of technological innovations such as the internet, which proliferated in the 21st century at a pace that may seem unique, was similar to that of the explosion of new technology during the industrial revolution and
Similarly impact cannot proliferate (or can it?). Plus, the impact was (past tense) is incorrect. We are seeing the impact in the 21st century, so it cannot exist in the past. (C) The pace at which technological innovations such as the internet have proliferated in the 21st century may seem unique, but it is similar to the industrial revolution’s new technology, which exploded and
I eliminated it because the second "which" refers to technology that exploded. Technology did not explode, meaning does not make sense. (D) The pace at which technological innovations such as the internet proliferated is seemingly unique in the 21st century, but the industrial revolution provided an explosion of new technology and
In addition to the simple past tense usage which is wrong (I understood the concept later), I think seemingly "unique in" 21st century is unidiomatic as compared to "unique to" 21st century. (E) The pace at which technological innovations such as the internet have proliferated may seem unique to the 21st century, but the industrial revolution provided an explosion of new technology that
All other problems do not appear in option E, hence, the correct answer.
