Australian embryologists have found evidence that suggests that the elephant is descended from an aquatic animal, and its trunk originally evolved as a kind of snorkel.

(A) that suggests that the elephant is descended from an aquatic animal, and its trunk originally evolved

(B) that has suggested the elephant descended from an aquatic animal, its trunk originally evolving

(C) suggesting that the elephant had descended from an aquatic animal with its trunk originally evolving

(D) to suggest that the elephant has descended from an aquatic animal and its trunk originally evolved

(E) to suggest that the elephant is descended from an aquatic animal and that its trunk originally evolved

这道题如果选择e的话，岂不是改变了原来句子的意思？原句是想修饰evidence来着，而e选项里面表示的the elephant后面的句子表示的是目的了啊，敬请牛牛解答！

不胜感激！
