Hi,
Please underline the portion..
Now the Q..
1) verb- help vs helps
the verb refers to 'bone structure', which is singular and so should correctle be HELPS
A and D can be eliminated
2) pronoun IT vs THEY..
logically the pronoun refers to "bird-hipped dinosaurs", so THEY is correct.. An OBSERVATION on this slightly later
B, C, and D can be eliminated..
ONLY E left
ans E
However other flaws..
3) Modifier- having vs with
having is verb+ing, so modifies the entire clause.. Not correct here
so WITH is correct
Now on the pronoun THEY
The first usage of NOUN "bird-hipped dinosaurs" is in POSSESIVE form, so in many ocassion it has been seen that possesive form/Object does not directly refer to the SUBJECT pronoun..

Thanks Underlined the text.
I have a doubt here... " They" may also refer to paleontologists??
Thanks
