There's no need to use HAD since only one event of past is referred. That cancels out A and D.
HAS is also incorrect since past tense is required as the event occurred in the early 1980s. Cancel B.
We are left with C and E.
In C use of 'AND' and 'ALSO' is redundant .
Correct Answer = E

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
The post-punk music era had reached its zenith in the early 1980s and is considered an early pioneer of gothic, industrial, and alternative rock.
A. had reached its zenith in the early 1980s and is
Incorrect.
This answer choice is grammatically incorrect. The time expression in the early 1980s describes a specific point in time and indicates that this sentence should be in the Past Simple. However, this answer choice uses the Past Perfect (had reached).
B. has reached its zenith in the early 1980s and is now
Incorrect.
This answer choice repeats the original mistake. The time expression in the early 1980s describes a specific point in time and indicates that this sentence should be in the Past Simple. However, this answer choice uses the Present Perfect (has reached).
C. reached its zenith in the early 1980s and is also
While this answer choice corrects the original mistake and is grammatically correct, it is stylistically flawed. Adding the addition word also creates redundancy as there is already an addition word in this sentence (and).
D. had reached its zenith in the early 1980s and would be
Incorrect.
This answer choice repeats the original mistake. The time expression in the early 1980s describes a specific point in time and indicates that this sentence should be in the Past Simple. However, this answer choice uses the Past Perfect (had reached).
E. reached its zenith in the early 1980s and is now
This answer choice corrects the original grammatical mistake. The time expression in the early 1980s describes a specific point in time and indicates that this sentence should be in the Past Simple (reached).
