The Glass House Mountains in Queensland, Australia, were sighted in 1770 by eht English navigator Captain James Cook, who so named them supposedly because their sheer wet rocks glistened like glass
"by whom they were named" 繁琐; its 不符合前文 Mountains
"by whom they were named"繁琐;且没有解释为什么James Cooks给其命这个名

正确(GMAT思想:主动语态优于被动语态,在正确情况下,追求简练,主谓一致)
"it"与前文的mountains的不合
主谓一致,语义重复
