Leaching, the recovery of copper from the drainage water of mines, as a method of the extraction of minerals, it was well established as early as the eighteenth century, but until about 25 years ago miners did not realize that bacteria take an active part in the process.

as a method of the extraction of minerals, it was well established
as a method of the extraction of minerals well established
was a well-established method of mineral extraction
was a well-established method of extracting mineral that was
had been a method of mineral extraction, well established

这道题有人讨论过了,不过我有个自己的困惑没解决,请大家指正

我选的E,因为我觉得这个METHOD是在人们REALIZED他的缺陷之前. 所以人们RELIZED他的缺陷用过去式,放生REALIZED前的METHOD为什么不用HAD呢?

应该是选C吧？
句子中表达的意思中没有“这个方法在意识到实质之前就一直存在”这一条，事实上句子想要表达的是两个转折的意思，第一个是“这个方法好久以前就有了”第二个是“但是直到……才发现……”
另外E中well established做后置定语修饰method，个人认为出现了句子中没有强调的内容，即“leaching这种方法很久以前就有，在18c才成为一种成熟的方法……”
