I think in (D) the complement (... leading a nomadic existence ...) interrupts the subject and its verb and makes me feel unconfortable.

Verb+ING 開頭的句子

有很大的機率是 adverbial clause

也就是形容 how a verb is performed

但是 D 選項連一個 verb 都還沒出現

就插出了一個 adverbial clause

這樣感覺怪怪的

I don't know what you mean

but in D, I think it is from a relative clause

Hence, the original sentence should be

 Up until recently, the Inuit people, who lead a nomadic existence, have sheltered...

翻成中文就明白了，意思还是很重要的。

直到最近，过着游牧生活的（修饰语）因纽特人（主）仍住在（谓）圆顶屋（宾）中BLA　BLA　BLA

D

偶也选了A，但如果up until recently是习惯用法的话，那从意思来看，的确D比较合理。

1.A中sheltering所带的伴随状语太长，而且感觉跟until recently的关系很疏离，挺怪的。

2。until recently后面还是用完成时比较妥当

我也Google到原句。不过更重要的是，The Columbia Guide to Standard American English 中说道：

up until is a compound preposition that means the same as until, as in We can stay until [up until] Thursday. Limit it to Conversational and Informal and Semiformal use,  until by itself is more appropriate in most Edited English.
