A- have (plural), B-have(plural). A and B can be eliminated .

(B) as mere scavenging for meat, have emerged from examining tools found in Germany, which include
(C) as mere meat scavengers, has emerged from examining tools found in Germany that includes
The new image (singular) - prepositional phrase ..., rather than (modifier)..., has emerged .
Looks good at first instance. Keep C
(D) mere scavengers of meat, has emerged from the examination of tools found in Germany, which includes
Germany, which -- A big error . which refers back to Germany here .Whether Germany includes wooden spears. Illogical .
D is out
(E) mere scavengers of meat, has emerged from the examination of tools found in Germany, including
Looks good . Keep E

Answer is E
