Sentence Correction (SC) | Re: That El Salvador is pervaded

I'm not following the above explanations both "recorded" and "recording" are participial phrases and would modify nearest noun "articles", the only reason i would prefer B is because use of passive voice in A.

A) That El Salvador is pervaded by violence and stark terror was reported by Joan Didion in a disturbing series of articles recorded
B) That violence and stark terror pervade El Salvador was reported by Joan Didion in a disturbing series of articles recording

Please
