Past continuous tense in A is fine. C, D and E change meaning.

C for clear pronoun reference
Show more

C is clearly wrong.. "it" has no clear reference .. It can refer to "Elephant" or "Zoo"

D,E --> "that" missing

B, had been waiting --> past perfect continuous tense is not required

A is the best.

C cant be the answer because we dont know whether the pronoun "it" is refering to zoo or the elephant.
Rest other choices are akward.......
Option A make sense.

IMO A

Also in C - "there was" looks wordy...
