The correct response is (D). The subject of the sentence is the plural “caves” and so the predicate verb should be the plural “were.” The second verb in the sentence, “is”, doesn’t match “caves” either and should be changed to “are” since the estimation is happening in the present-tense.
In the original sentence, there is a confusing meaning. The heritage site wasn’t discovered. The caves were discovered, which is not clear in this version of the sentence. Additionally, “estimated at” is the incorrect idiom, although the question doesn’t hinge on knowing this idiom.

D

B - were estimated is wrong tense. Present tense needs to be used
C - were and was don't agree in number, tense of was is wrong
E - caves needs to have a plural verb "were" instead of "was"
