Hello,
1) Just one IDIOM is more than enough to come to correct answer..
Regarded as is the correct idiom and ONLY D and E use it correctly...
E has very awkward connection.... D is correct..
2) pronoun error - it/they .... the pronoun refers to bonds, so THEY should be used...
3) PAST perfect tense... as two events in different times are being spoken about had come is better than came..
ans D

I guess D is wrong .
Though two different time frames are involved yet the first time frame should be in past perfect tense and the later one in simple past.
Experts please correct me if I am mistaken.
