OG 13版第8题，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

答案是E，关于 C选项的them指代问题我有点疑惑，根据白勇语法里的代词指代规则
代词指代方法----- 主从句中，先指代主句核心词，再指代宾语或表语的核心词，最后指代修饰语中的名词。并列句中，第2个或第3个句子中的代词应该优先指代第1句中主句的名词
那么这里的them 是否可以说是没有歧义的指代chambers呢。还是说因为句子层次问题，比如说划线部分前面是层次1，because引导的原因状语从句是层次2，which引导的定从是层次3，所以位于层次3里的them应该优先指代层次2里的主语tourists呢，谢谢解答
