C.     Minivans carry as many as seven passengers, in comparison with most sport utility vehicles, and have a lower cost, they

D.     Minivans, carrying as many as seven passengers, compared with most sport utility vehicles, cost less,

E.      Minivans, which carry as many as seven passengers, compared with most sport utility vehicles the cost is lower, and they

   参考答案：D

carrying 和 compared 两个修饰语夹在中间，不会引起歧义么？

另外，不明白这是什么语法现象。

sb doing verb会产生歧义，但是compared with不是谓语动词，是作插入语。

我觉得不会carrying表示的是Minivan的属性，cost是谓语。所以动词分词的修饰歧义是发生在名词上的，不会影响动词
