• A. but should it had been linked less
• B. but should it not have been linked less
• C. but it should been linked lesser
• D. but it should have been linked less
• E. but it should had been linked less

Answer 1

The correct option is D but it should have been linked less

The sentence is affirmative. So, we should use 'should' after 'it' otherwise it will be interrogative in nature.
E.g.This medicine has helped, but it should have been taken on time.
