Yes guys, its D because there has to be an agreement between the verbs to give out what we called concord....has/have, are present tense while HAD is a past tense which should agree with DECAYED...so its correct.
had long decayed is correct because . had is d past of both has and have. has is singular. have is plural. NOTE that had was used so decayed also must be used not decay.
When two main verbs appear in a in a past sense in a sentence, have or has changes to had. Here, d 2 past tense verbs are found and decayed. The correct answer must have had. D long their is appropriated an epithet
