A. a scale developed by astronomers rates the likelihood that a particular asteroid or comet may B. a scale that astronomers have developed rates how likely it is for a particular asteroid or comet to C. astronomers have developed a scale to rate how likely a particular asteroid or comet will be to D. astronomers have developed a scale for rating the likelihood that a particular asteroid or comet will E. astronomers have developed a scale that rates the likelihood of a particular asteroid or comet that may
Why the given answer is C instead of D For C, "will be to" and "a scale to rate how likely" are wordy; They should be "will" and "a scale to rate the likelihood"
