57. In astronomy the term "red shift" denotes the extent to which light from a distant galaxy has been shifted toward the red, or long-wave, end of the light spectrum by the rapid motion of the galaxy away from the Earth.
(A)    to which light from a distant galaxy has been shifted
(B)    to which light from a distant galaxy has shifted
(C)    that light from a distant galaxy has been shifted
(D)    of light from a distant galaxy shifting
(E)    of the shift of light from a distant galaxy
请问A里面的to which中的to是跟那个词的？

我对这道题也不是很明白，to 在这里怎么讲，本句的明确意思是什么？请高手指点。

这个问题真还没好好想过,因为to the extent 是个习惯用法,看的熟了,就理所当然

个人参考意见:

当修饰extent时,介词提到先行词前 the extent to which

原句意思说"red shift" 这个术语在天文学中表示一个程度,(这个程度就是light from a distant galaxy has been shifted toward the red, or long-wave, end of the light spectrum by the rapid motion of the galaxy away from the Earth.)

Very good question!
1, extent to which ... == to the extent that ...
2, extend to , to some extent ...
3, the difficult, though, is that there is a 'toward' after. ETS really wants to make a trap here

同意,尤其是highlight部分
