had been -> wrong tense. Eliminate A.having been found -> incorrect modifier. Eliminate B; E changes meaning, Eliminated. Between C and D i will go with D as only is defining or modifying the place where it is found now. So it should be closer to the place. Hence D Wins.
Although i would want an Expert opinion on it. Can anybody please help ?

Hi Guys, OA is D
A) Use of past perfect tense "had" is incorrect since there are no two things taking place at different times in the past
B) The modifying phrase "having been found only in sub-Saharan Africa" makes no sense in the sentence
C) Placement of "only" is incorrect. Only should be used as an adjective to modify a noun (sub-Saharan Africa) and not as an adverb to modify a verb (found)
E) The placement of "only" completely distorts the meaning of the original sentence
