A compensating state government for damage to

B compensating state government for the damaging of

D giving compensation to state governments for the demage of

E the giving of compensation to state governments for damaging

动词好于名词，所以，compensating > give compensation. 而且damage> damaging

这里比较的不是2个东东，而是比较这2个东东的时间－－比那座破城（本来已经够古老的了）还要古老1000年。
明白了这点，就不难排除C了－－C中有一个was，用在这里很没有道理嘛。
