prep1-143 despite的用法

143.      (32542-!-item-!-188;#058&006254)

Despite there being no fundamental difference in shipbuilding traditions in Viking-Age Scandinavia from the ones in other parts of Northern Europe, archaeological evidence shows that Viking ships were lighter, slimmer, faster, and thus probably more seaworthy than the heavier vessels used by the English at that time.

(A) Despite there being no fundamental difference in shipbuilding traditions in Viking-Age Scandinavia from the ones  

(B) Despite no fundamental difference between the shipbuilding traditions in Viking-Age Scandinavia from those

(C) With shipbuilding traditions in Viking-Age Scandinavia not fundamentally different from those

(D) With the shipbuilding traditions in Viking-Age Scandinavia having no fundamental difference from the ones

(E) Although shipbuilding traditions in Viking-Age Scandinavia were not fundamentally different from those

prep解释说A 中ones指代traditions抽象名词不恰当，ones不能指代抽象名词？

B 为什么不对啊？

刘振民里说到：despite后面只能跟名词短语，如果名词短语后面还有长长的修饰，那么就应该用although之类引导从句来的替换。

one很少能指代抽象名词，以前碰到的对于GMAT里没有一个题是指代抽象名词的，都是指代前面名词短语的核心词或者名词类别。
