It was easy to cut down to D and E but I do not understand why the answer would be E and not D. Here is my understanding, do tell me if something's quite wrong here...
The much debated position on the acceleration of GDP contends that the industrial revolution which begun 300 years back with the invention of steam engine, and it has progressed since then.
It started 300 years back... fine... go with simple past tense - began is ok.
Has it stopped... Are we still not in the industrial revolution... I took this logically has something started 300 years back and is still going on (present continuous tense) . How is this thought any lesser than stating something started 300 years back and has progressed since then...
Can anyone provide me a better explanation please?

The sentence D has the word "it" making it a Pronoun error.
Also, as you have already used "Since" , you dont need to include "has been" which is another present perfect tense usage in the same sentence.
