Solution

The correct option is E anachronisms
Here, the word 'anachronisms', which means a thing belonging or appropriate to a period other than that in which it exists, especially a thing that is conspicuously old-fashioned, best fits the given context of the sentences and conveys what the sentence means to say. Thus A is the answer.
Bullock carts and hand pumps seem anachronisms in a village whose skyline is dominated by telephone cables and satellite dishes.
None of the other options fit the context.
