A. as old as any of their supposed
B. older than any of their supposed
C. as old as their supposed
D. older than any of their supposedly
E. as old as their supposedly
'as old as' is wordy and does not provide clear comparison - A,C,E are out
Out of B & D, supposedly is an adverb while we need an adjective to modify noun 'predecessors'.
IMO
