IMHO,
Have/had is used for 2 purposes.
1. To indicate timelines that one action is happened before another.
2. And, To indicate 'possession'. e.g.. I had blue umbrella.
I have a pet dog. etc.
Here, in this sentence, 'Had' is used in 2nd way. Hence we need 'had'
In D and E, D only shows this purpose.
Hence D.

Consider kudos if my explanation helps you!!
