The Olmecs were a particularly enigmatic people, known today mainly through their distinctive sculpture of huge human heads with masklike expressions and thick lips. Their heartland was in the Mexican states of Veracruz and Tabasco. Although they built no great cities, the Olmecs developed a wide trading network and left a legacy of art and religious ritual. The jaguar, a recurring theme in Olmec art, is a prominent figure in the stela text.
In a commentary accompanying the report, Dr. Stuart wrote, "The art of the Olmec and their Middle Preclassic neighbors appears to reflect many fundamental patterns seen in later Mesoamerican remains, including certain political and religious motifs and themes, the use of the calendar, and the beginning of writing -- although examples of the latter are rare."

IMO, C is correct.
(1) First, we split between "within" and "in". We always say in ABC art/culture/business/economy/trouble......e.g. in American culture; in modern art; in social economy......But we don't say "within modern art". Normally, "within" requires a parameter to be more accurate, e.g. Do not smoke within 20 feet of the building
So, A, B are out.
(2) Among other answers, C is correct.
(c) a recurring symbol in ==> Correct
(D) having been a symbol that recurred in ==> awkward & ungrammatical.
(E) recurring as it is, a symbol in ==> "as it is" does not refer to anything.
Hope it helps.
