     (A) shooting dead chickens at airplanes has proved helpful to demonstrate

(B) shooting dead chickens at airplanes has proved itself helpful as a demonstration of

(C) shooting dead chickens at airplanes proves itself helpful as demonstrating

(D) that shoots dead chickens at airplanes
                        proves
                    itself helpful to demonstrate（E）

(E) that shoots dead chickens at airplanes has proved helpful in demonstrating

D为什么不对呢？觉得应该是proves itself helpful 啊，再者为什么要用完成时态呢？

证明(自身)是,表明(自己)是...直接用prove+adj.就可以.完成时态在这里的语法是符合题意的,并没有错
