GWD21-Q5~a controversial question~

There are no legal limits, as there are for cod and haddock, on the size of monkfish that can be caught, a circumstance that contributes to their depletion through overfishing.


A.There are no legal limits, as there are for cod and haddock, on the size of monkfish that can be caught, a circumstance that contributes to their depletion through overfishing.
B.There are no legal limits on the size of monkfish that can be caught, unlike cod or haddock, a circumstance that contributes to depleting them because they are being overfished.
C.There are legal limits on the size of cod and haddock that can be caught, but not for monkfish, which contributes to its depletion through overfishing.
D.Unlike cod and haddock, there are no legal size limits on catching monkfish, which contributes to its depletion by being overfished.
E.Unlike catching cod and haddock, there are no legal size limits on catching monkfish, contributing to their depletion because they are overfished.

此题GWD给的答案是C。我觉得C问题还蛮多的，相比较而言，A是个更好的选择呢。
看过以前的讨论帖，大家众说纷纭，有同意A的，也有赞成C的。
C的问题在于：which本身应该紧跟修饰，那么照这样的说法，C中的which应该指代mockfish咯，其实不然，因为从句子逻辑来看，mockfish不会导致它本身的depletion啊。
所以我认为答案是A更好，
大家觉得呢？

A项可不可以理解为as表比较，前后结构应该对称，所以前后都用there are同样的形式衔接？我觉得这样解释A就说得通了。

2.    关于monkfish, fish的单复数识别：
if "fish" is singular, it must be used WITH AN ARTICLE ("a", "the", etc.)
i saw a fish swimming beneath me --> singular (1 fish)
i saw fish swimming beneath me --> plural (multiple fish)

受教了，那就是说选A了？

是的，选A

Thank you so much for clearing up my confusion.
So you agree with me that A is the correct answer？

要是在其他题目里which指代出错基本上应该是致命的了，LZ其实不必纠结这道题目，我相信GMAC一定不会把这种题放进考试里，只记语法点就可以了~
PS：其实是你这么一说我也不知道这两个错误哪个更致命了……

但是句子的意思和逻辑关系在语法中比一般的语法规则重要么？
是看重逻辑还是语法规则？

其实被你这么一说，我发现了A后面悄悄藏着的一个their。让我倍感纠结。。。
