A. when it is known that humans made     时态错，没有表达原意。

B.   at which it is known that humans had made   事态错

C.   at which humans are known to have made

D. that humans are known to be making      that前应加at( 时间状语匆遽); to be making表达意思错.(C)

E. of humans who were known to make  date of humans逻辑意思错

vote for A, the tense is right

答案肯定是c

known to do sth 对应do的过去时应该是

known to have done

对应的完成时是

known to have had done

(e.g. from real newspaper)

All are known to have been beaten severely on the night of March 22 at the al-Khalifa police station.

所以这里的have made 当过去时，而非完成时讲。
