I chose A by luck

When I first read choice A, I got confused about the sentence structure but kind of understand what it means. After looking at E, I finally realized that this is about DU LI ZHU GE. With that thought, I read choice A again, and became pretty sure about the below:

whose murals are brilliantly colored (descriptive clause modifying women), their geometrical symmetries (subject in DU') embellished (adj.) with old and new iconography (the first prep. phrase modifying "embellished") and in a style that varies from woman to woman and house to house (the second prep. phrase modifying "embellished").

"their style" of B and "they are in style" of C are confusing by reference, i.e. we would be confused by what the pron. refers to and thus can't quite understand what the sentence means, right? Moreover, the content after the "whose clause" in B and C are run-on sentences.D and E misinterperates the meaning with ingrammatical sentence structure.

PS: "from woman to woman and house to house" is better than "among women and houses" since the latter one doesn't make sense at all~

You must have understood well what the sentence means by far
