For this question, the emphasis i believe is on the sentence logic. Both events happended at the same time in the past. Hence it is right to use simple past tense.

It is possible that early American women’s rights leaders such as Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton were borrowing their ideals from the women who had lived in the contemporary Iroquois Indian nations nearby.



A. were borrowing their ideals from the women who had lived
B. had borrowed their ideals from the women who had been living
C. borrowed their ideals from the women who lived
D. had been borrowing their ideals from the women who lived
E. borrowed their ideals from the women who had been living
We dont wqant to complicate things hence C is th best bet !!! where just past tense we dont want any past perfect !!!
