C. by the time they reached adulthood, 98 percent of men and 75 percent of women born in the country had been attacked by the birds

E. 98 percent of men and 75 percent of women who were born in the country, by the time they reached adulthood
        had been attacked by the birds

E谓语是had been attacked,句子结构完整，但修饰语位置不好。

首先，定语从句who were born不及分词born简洁。

其次，E的主谓之间有两个修饰语，相隔太远，不及C的结构。
