'buildings'
Is that singular or plural ? @bohotness
OpenStudy (bohotness):
pluaral
OpenStudy (conqueror):
Exactly, so it's not A or B, because those are singular.
OpenStudy (conqueror):
Which makes more sense when you put it in the sentence ?
'are' or 'have' ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
That leaves you with C and D. This is easy to find the answer, because only one choice makes sense when you plug it into the sentence. :)

You can't connect 'are' with 'been'.
So you are correct, it's D.

'have been' can connect in the sentnece.
