咨询各位大牛，last year做状语，主句动词能否使用完成时？

Some buildings that were destroyed and heavily damaged in the earthquake last year were constructed in violation of the city's building code.
A. Some buildings that were destroyed and heavily damaged in the earthquake last year were
B. Some buildings that were destroyed or heavily damaged in the earthquake last year had been
C. Some buildings that the earthquake destroyed and heavily damaged last year have been
D. Last year the earthquake destroyed or heavily damaged some buildings that have been
E. Last year some of the buildings that were destroyed or heavily damaged in the earthquake had been

本题正确答案是B。

想咨询一下选项E，前面有个last year, 个人觉得VERB不能用过去完成时，但是书中解释说E语法没有错误，错在意思上。
请各位大牛指点。
