E is out because the devastation and enslavement is singular. "The X and Y" is singular, whereas "the X and the Y" is plural. For example, The CEO and chairman is in the office today.

对于许多修正主义的历史学家来说，Christopher Columbus（哥伦布） 象征着以进步为名义的 破坏和奴隶制，这个进步 已经大量残杀了西半球的当地土著人 所以谓语动词应该是单数has，因为that修饰的是progress
