Answer 1

Last week” dictates simple past tense “were.” Present perfect “have been” (A) refers to the status now of something already accomplished in the past-e.g. “have been cataloged since last week.” Subjunctive present perfect “would have been” (B) is never used in a conditional “If” clause/phrase, only as its complement (“If…, then they would…”). Singular “was” (C) disagrees with plural “books.” Past perfect “had been” (E) would require “why hadn’t they been…/weren’t they…?” to agree.
