Could anyone explain the logic behind choosing correct answer choice (E)? I keep leaning toward (B), because the example in the passage says "investigation into the authority of the texts" is necessary, and that seems to align with investigation into the validity of the eyewitnesses in the answer choice. Thank you.

So the debate described in the hypothetical example in the fourth paragraph is between two adherents of different religions. Keep in mind that these adherents firmly believe in the correctness of their position. Outsiders however, would need further investigation to determine the correctness of one adherent or the other. But the debate is between adherents, and this is an important point.
In answer choice (B) the debate is among jurors who are not certain in the correctness of the views of the eyewitnesses.
In answer choice (E) the debate is among historians who have themselves drawn conclusions, just as in the fourth paragraph the adherents have drawn conclusions regarding the correctness of their respective sacred texts.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that in answer choice (B) the debate is among the wrong group of people.
Does that clear this one up?

I kind of understand what you are saying about E. But I just don't see the difference between E and C?
I just chose C because to me it seemed when it said that there is no evidence to verify either's claim, that like religion, there is no evidence to prove who is wrong or right.
Any clarification would be great! Thanks in advance!

This may be too late, but the similarities/difference between answer choice C and E and how they relate to the debate illustrated in the fourth paragraph of the text, is that the religious debaters in the fourth paragraph are basing their arguments from their religious texts whereas in C, the archaeologists have no evidence as the basis for their claims, whereas in E the historians are each drawing their conclusions based on different types of historical data (similar to the way the religious debates base their arguments on different religious texts).
