Either A or E. But neither looks perfect.

VOTE FOR A
S points:
1. 这句话的意思有点别扭，提取主干翻译一下“对许多修正主义的历史学家而言，CC成为了毁灭和奴役的代名词”
2. devastation and enslavement应该看作整体，因为在这个句子里面，它们虽然是两件事情，但是性质是一样的 -- 也就是说，从同一个角度看这两个事情。
3. 综上that后面应该用has.
------
对于devastation and enslavement前面是否要用the. 我想既然没有前文，不需要特指，不用the也是可以的。

我觉得是A
B的被动使用错误
C的those无所指
D的those无所指
E的the多余~have与progress不一致~
个人愚见~欢迎拍砖~哈哈~

The problem with A is that progress did not decimate native peoples. But devastation and enslavement did.

For many revisionist historians, Christopher Columbus has come to personify devastation and enslavement in the name of progress that has decimated native peoples of the Western Hemisphere.
我是这样翻译的：在很多修正主义历史学家眼里，(CC)以名义上的"进步"杀害西半球土著民族，CC成了毁灭与奴役的代名词/化身(或者说，CC活化了毁灭与奴役)。
如果这么翻译，我想progress可以成为decimate的动作发出者，而devastation and enslavement就不能成为decimate的发出者了。
sdcar意下如何?

One possible explanation for A is to treat the phrase "devastation and enslavement in the name of progress" as the object which decimated people. But this kind of usage is really rare, even in GMAT questions.
