Show SpoilerMY DOUBT
In this question, The OA is D..
However, I have a doubt with respect to D:
" comma + and " starts a new clause that needs to have a subject also. However in this case, ("were first explored in the late 18th century by members of Napoleon’s Egyptian expedition, and have been" ) the option contains "comma+and" without a subject. In my opinion the comma should not have been used before the "and" ..
I Request Experts to give your opinion on this and enlighten me...

P.S I would also like some clarity on the ", and" construction..
Is it strictly for parallelism for 3+ items (A, B, and C) and independent clauses, or are there other uses to ", and"?
