Answer:

D). Is a small but fertile island, which has retained from the period of its first discovery the name of Trinidad, and though picturesque, had rarely been

Explanation:

As per the question, option D correctly revises the underlined phrase 'is a small....been' as it follows the grammatical and syntactical structure adequately. The use of tenses is apt according to the context of the statement. The other options are incorrect as they are either grammatically or semantically wrong. The options A and C are incorrect as the use of 'past tense('had retained' in the first clause) deviates the meaning while option B involves an inappropriate sequence of tenses and option E contains a modifying error. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
