What does "Up until" in D) mean?

It is correct to use past tense for 'until', please refer to the following sentence from Oxford:

"He lived at home until soon afte his father's death."

I would pick the answer A)

we are not talking about "until" but "until recently";    Moreover, up until recently = up until now

好象是有原句, util recently 一定用完成时吗?

An Asiatic people, the Inuits arrived in Canada during the last Ice Age, but some time after the Indians. Until quite recently, they led a nomadic existence, sheltering in igloos, the ice-block domes that are peculiar to northern-central Canada, and structures made of stones, bones, driftwood, sods and skins.
