(A) we can see the subject as it was at
This choice is less wordy and correctly uses simple past tense to talk about the physical state (appearance) of the subject captured on the film. Hence, this choice is likely the CORRECT answer.
(B) we can see the subject as it had been at
The typical use of the construction “had been” is to demonstrate an action that started in the past and continued up to a given time in the past. Here, we need a simple past to talk about the physical state (appearance) of the subject captured on the film. INCORRECT.
(C) we can see the subject as if at
The use of “if” is used generally to demonstrate hypothesis. Here it is incorrectly used. INCORRECT.
(D) the subject can appear to us as it did at
The use of “can” is used to demonstrate “ability.” The choice incorrectly uses the word “can”. Also, the passive construction “the subject can appear to us …” makes it wordy. INCORRECT.
(E) the subject can appear to us as though at
The use of “can” is used to demonstrate “ability.” The choice incorrectly uses the word “can”. Also, the passive construction “the subject can appear to us …” makes this choice wordy. INCORRECT.
