[求助]为什么没人问过og257?

The direction in which the Earth and the other solid planets-Mercury,Venus,and Mars-spins were determined from collisions with giant celestial bodies in the early history of the Solar System.

(A)spins were determined from

(B)spins were determined because of

(C)spins was determined through

(D)spin was determined by

(E)spin was determined as a result of

答案D.我想选E,虽然知道be determined as a result of 不对，但是在这句话中as a result of 可不可以修饰前面整个部分？我觉得与其说方向是由与物体碰撞决定的还不如说是由于与物体碰撞，方向被决定了。不知xdjm有没更好的解释？请不吝赐教。
