had imagined (past perfect) --> arrived at a place (simple past tense) --> finds it different ( simple present) - a fact that is true even today

Imo D .
Than in A is wrong
When arriving in B is wrong
C is wrong for using on preposition.
E is wrong as it changes to past tense from present tense .
As it is a fact so we should use present tense

Imho, both D and E are correct.

Examples from Collins.

The ideological make-up of the unions is now radically different from what it had been.
Everything about the country seemed utterly different from what I'd experienced before...

No, logically the first sentence is wrong (even though it is from Collins). The correct sequencing would be:

The ideological make-up of the unions IS now radically different from what it WAS. (Before present ---> past)
The ideological make-up of the unions WAS then radically different from what it HAD BEEN. (Before past ---> past perfect)

Past perfect must have another time reference in past - a very clear rule in GMAT.

Thus Option D is wrong and option E is correct... corrected OA.
