B and C are wordy, i.e. these options use more words than option A to express the same idea.
I started running at 3 pm and then continually (ran).
I continually ran from 3 pm.
The second option is better because of concision.

A) Correct.
B) "And" cannot join a participle "starting" and an adverb "continually."
C) "Continually from then on" is redundant.
D) "Having" introduces an adverbial modifier that modifies the entire preceding clause, but the proper object is Ansel Adams.
E) Ditto.

Can anyone explain the answer choices in terms of tense?
I am clear with D and E. Participle phrases don't indicate time. The tense of participle phrases follow the tense of the main clause. Perfect tense (here, "having photographed") is used when it needs to emphasize that the action in the participle phrase took place before the timing of the main clause. In this sentence, there is no need to emphasize that the photographing took place in the past. Therefore, neither D nor E is the best choice.
But I am not clear with A, B, and C.
A: The phrase "continually from his teenage years on" indicates the photographing is a continued action. So, I think the use of past tense in this choice "who photographed it" is wrong, and the correct sentence should be "who has photographed it..."
