SC structure
The cardinals
---remained in the Sistine Chapel for far longer than
---the Vatican reporters expected,
---------which suggests that the deliberation over the new pope was both spirited and contemplative.
Error:
1. "which" is referring to which entity - expected ??? - does it make sense - no. Also which can not jump over verb
2. Here last part of the sentence is trying to say that an event happened and this event is suggesting something
Based on above understanding, lets review the answer choices
A. which suggests that the deliberation over the new pope was both spirited and contemplative

C. a situation suggesting the deliberation over the new pope was both spirited and it was contemplative
- sentence structure error
- 2 ICs not properly connected
- Also IT referring to which entity
D. suggesting that the deliberation over the new pope was both spirited and contemplative
- correct
- + ing modifier structure
E. suggests that the deliberation over the new pope was both spirited and contemplative
- meaning error
- also verbs are not connected properly - in this sentence structure expected and suggests will become parallel

(A) and (B): ...which suggests ->Which should refer to a noun discussed before, and it should be singlular (suggests)
This leaves us with Sistine Chapel.
Is Sistine Chapel suggesting something? According to the sentence, it seems that Sistine Chapel is a place where the deliberation happened, therefore, this makes no sense.
(B) also has a parallelism issue.
(C) ...a situation suggesting -> Perfectly fine.
However, we get a parallelism issue at the end: both spirited and it was contemplative.
(D) ...suggesting -> We can argue the usage in (C) was better, but this does the job, since -ing modifier modifies the subject of the clause, (which can be a noun or a whole phrase. Correct me if I am wrong).
Parallelism is fine here.
(E) ...suggests that -> Incorrect sentence structure. Preceded by an independent clause.
Answer: (D)
