The Ten Great Buildings of China were built by the Community rulers in 1959 in Beijing on a grand scale, constructions that comprised an architectural amalgam of three major factors of modernism, communism, and historicism and reflected the diverse aspects of the Chinese past and the then extant cultural canvas
A) that comprised an architectural amalgam of three major factors of modernism, communism, and historicism and reflected
B) comprising an architectural amalgam of three major factors of modernism, communism, and historicism and that reflecting
C) that comprised an architectural amalgam of three major factors of modernism, communism, and historicism and reflecting
D) that comprised an architectural amalgam of three major factors of modernism, communism, and historicism that reflected
E) comprising an architectural amalgam of three major factors of modernism, communism, and historicism and reflecting
Option C also follows parallelism structure
that comprised( Past participle)....and reflecting( present participle). Also reflecting shows present and comprised shows that something happened in past. By this logic i may go with C.
May you please correct the viewpoint.

No it does not, Comprising... reflecting is the correct usage in this sentence, hence option E. IMO
Plus the use of "that" in option C makes the sentence ambiguous for no reason. Would recommend experts to explain this in detail
