标题: OG13 SC#8
In late 1997, the chambers inside the pyramid of the Pharaoh Menkaure at Giza were closed to visitors for cleaning and repair due to moisture exhaled by tourists, which raised its humidity to such levels so that salt from the stone was crystallizing and fungus was growing on the walls.

(A) due to moisture exhaled by tourists, which raised its humidity to such levels so that salt from the stone was crystallizing
(B) due to moisture that tourists had exhaled,thereby raising its humidity to such levels that salt from the stone would crystallize
(C) because tourists were exhaling moisture, which had raised the humidity within them to levels such that salt from the stone would crystallize
(D) because of moisture that was exhaled by tourists raising the humidity within them to levels so high as to make the salt from the stone crystallize
(E) because moisture exhaled by tourists had raised the humidity within them to such levels that salt from the stone was crystallizing
这道题OG上解释说C,D中，The pronoun 'them' seems to refer to tourists.但作者的意图是指代chambers的。我不明白的是，E中为什么就不会有此类歧义，而C,D中就会有这样的歧义？

以前看过一篇，印象中是baba姐的。大意是说跟modifier有关。C中的which修饰moisture，句意奇葩。估计想说because tourists were exhaling moisture, raising the humidity within them... 然后them就明显可能指代tourists了，句意还是奇葩。D中raising the humidity within them 很像修饰 tourists，单纯因为挨得近的缘故，虽然本意可能是想修饰moisture. E中 moisture had raied the humidity within them 整句下来无歧义， exhaled by tourists 肯定是 modifier. 就是说 had raied the humidity within them 修饰不到 tourists,所以没有歧义
