(A) the weaver still pursues his art as they have
-the weaver is singular so pronoun "they" should be singular. Also use of" Have" which is plural is incorrect . So Eliminate A
(B) the weaver still pursues his art as he has
- Correct - singular weaver is correctly matched with pronoun He and verb Has is correct.
(C) weavers still pursue their art as they have
- Though Pronoun matches with plural weavers. Use of "they" becomes ambiguous . It leads to confusion whether it is referring to weavers or Tibetan Rugs. Compared to C , option B is more Clear. So Eliminate C
(D) weavers still pursue their art as was done
- " as was done" is awkward and grammatically incorrect. So eliminate D
(E) the weaver still pursues his art as has been done
- " as has been done by whom?? this creates ambiguity, pronoun or subject required for providing clarity in meaning. So Eliminate E
Ans Choice B
Dream it! Achieve it! All the best to everyone

--in the non-underlined part their ---indicates that plural weavers are correct (their refers to weavers)
(A) the weaver still pursues his art as they have
pronoun disagreement---their does not agree with the singular weaver
(B) the weaver still pursues his art as he has
pronoun disagreement---their does not agree with the singular weaver
(C) weavers still pursue their art as they have
here weavers agree with their---correct comparison (weavers still pursue..as they have---weavers to weavers)
use of present perfect is correct here to express the continuity (correct)
(D) weavers still pursue their art as was done
incorrect comparison--weavers are compared to what was done and use of past tense is wrong here
(E) the weaver still pursues his art as has been done
pronoun disagreement---their does not agree with the singular weaver
