Initiated on Columbus Day 1992, five centuries after Europeans arrived in the New World, Project SETI pledged a $100 million investment in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
Pledging a $100 million investment in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, the initiation of Project SETI five centuries after Europeans arrived in the New World on Columbus Day 1992.
Pledging a $100 million investment in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence five centuries after Europeans arrived in the New World, on Columbus Day 1992, the initiation of Project SETI took place.
initiated 的修饰对象不是investment，而是project，B排掉
AC的区别在于 on the Columbus Day 1992修饰谁
European arrived in the New World不可能是1992发生的，所以1992修饰的是initiated，选C
B的主语是investment
DE的主语是initiation
after Europeans arrived in the New World
可以看成是独立主格做伴随状语，此时arrived表被动，此处应是欧洲人主动arrive，所以不是独立主格
也可以看成是从属连词after+完整的句子，构成状语从句，修饰initiate这个动作
five centuries修饰after，after多久，按结构也可以修饰initiate，但initiate five centuries逻辑不通，按选项最合理的意思来解读，five centuries 修饰after
sb do sth after doing sth或sb do sth after sb do sth里的状语表示主句动作发生的时间是在另一个动作之后，
这里则表示项目开始是在欧洲人到达新大陆5个世纪之后，该部分意思与C相同，
after 后面可以接从句登录 或 注册 后可以参加讨论
这里按常识（背景知识）推断，欧洲人不是在1992抵达新大陆的，在1992的5个世纪前抵达新大陆更合理，所以C比A合理
做几遍错几遍……关于时间状语放在句子中移动的时候要引起高度警惕!

A 选项会引起歧义 欧洲人在1992年的哥伦布day到达新世界的五个世纪后，怎样怎样
但是原文想表达的是 在1992年的哥伦布day 这一天是欧洲人到达新世界的五个世纪之后……
对比分析A与C，initiate应该接一个准确的时间点，而非一个时间段，排除A。
B选项：initiated 修饰1个亿investment有问题；同时后面的被动语态也显得冗杂；
D选项：Pledging...作为一个句子片段，修饰the initiation有问题
E选项：同D，同时哥伦布日1992年有歧义
ON 1992也有错误，位置不对，有所歧义。
