On Earth, among the surest indications of sunspot cycles are believed to be the rate that trees grow

On Earth, among the surest indications of sunspot cycles are, it is believed, the rate of tree growth

On Earth, the rate at which trees grow is believed to be among the surest indications of sunspot cycles

Among the surest indications on Earth of sunspot cycles, believed to be the tree growth rate

Among the surest indications on Earth of sunspot cycles is believed to be the rate at which trees grow

The reference answer is C, while mine is E. The reason for choosing E is that "as seen..." clause modifies "the rate...", thus should be placed close to "the rate...", and that "their" in "as seen..." clause substitutes "trees", thus should be close to "the rate...".
