Seismologists studying the earthquake that struck northern California in October 1989 are still investigating some of its mysteries: the unexpected power of the seismic waves, the upward thrust that threw one man straight into the air, and the strange electromagnetic signals detected hours before the temblor.
(A) the upward thrust that threw one man straight into the air, and the strange electromagnetic signals detected hours before the temblor
(B) the upward thrust that threw one man straight into the air, and strange electromagnetic signals were detected hours before the temblor
(C) the upward thrust threw one man straight into the air, and hours before the temblor strange electromagnetic signals were detected
(D) one man was thrown straight into the air by the upward thrust, and hours before the temblor strange electromagnetic signals were detected
(E) one man who was thrown straight into the air by the upward thrust, and strange electromagnetic signals that were detected hours before the temblor

这是白勇书上的一题，就在这题的前几页，就着“冒号后面是完整的主谓结构”，请问正确答案A是什么情况？

The colon provides further explanation for what comes before it.
What comes before the colon must be able to stand alone as a sentence.
What comes after the colon does not have to be able to stand alone.

For exp:
I love listening to many kinds of music: classical, rock, rap, and pop.

On January 1, 2000, the national mood was completely different from what it
would become just a few years later: at the turn of the century, given a seemingly
unstoppable market and a seemingly peaceful world, the country was content.

the unexpected power of the seismic waves后面的句子要与之保持形式上的一致，只能是A，如楼上所说，逗号后面不一定是完整的svo句
