In a 5-to-4 decision,the Supreme Court ruled that two upstate New York counties owed restitution to three tribes of Oneida Indians for the unlawful seizure of their ancestral lands in the eighteenth century.
A。that two upstate New York counties owed restitution to three tribes of Oneida Indians for the unlawful seizure of
B。that two upstate New York counties owed restitution to three tribes of Oneida Indians because of their unlawful seizure of
C。two upstate New York counties to owe restitution to three tribes of Oneida Indians for their unlawful seizure of
D。on two upstate New York counties that owed restitution to three tribes of Oneida Indians because they unlawfully seized
E。on the restitution that two upstate New York counties owed to three tribes of Oneida Indians for the unlawful seizure o f

正确答案是A，这个我自己分析出来了。。
只是对于OG的C选项解释不理解：‘That‘ is omitted,resulting in an awkward construction;the pronoun reference 'they' is ambiguous.
我想的就是，rule后面接的是two update new york counties为谓语，然后再接不定式，所以也就不需要that引导啦，为什么还要说that被省略到时结构awkward啊？

C选项的这个不定式的最致命的问题就是to owe restitution不清楚到底是修饰了the Supreme Court还是two upstate New York counties！进而后面的their 也就成了指代不清!

因为我是从意思上出发，第一个their指的是counties,而第二个their指的是tribes，所以认为指代不清排出的C
但是对于to owe restitution，因为可以直接从意思就知道它是说的议会ruled这两个counties欠tribes赔偿。。所以还是不太懂为啥that省略导致ambiguous。。。

一开始以为是rule没有rule sb/sth to do的用法。。但是查字典没查到
