What's wrong with D? I dont see a modifier error.

I think past perfect have sheltered is ok because Until recently (ie. in the past) the Intuit people have lived (action occured before recently).


Up until recently is redundant/wordy. Also, tense agreement is not there. Up until recently indicates that this happened in the past. It's not that they are still leading a nomadic existance.

A is good.

In D up and until are both prepositions.

"Until Recently" is a prepositional phrase...
