Almost a decade after New York State passed laws to protect patients by reducing the grueling hours worked by medical residents, twelve hospitals have been investigated by state medical officials, finding that all twelve consistently break the laws, many residents work longer than 24 hours straight, and that more than half the surgical residents work more than 95 hours a week.

看了好多老帖，感觉还是不满意。
这题答案是C，结构上平行，但我总觉得an investigation has found 有点问题, has indicated or has shown是不是更合适？
D的话，with many residents working longer than 24 hours straight作为独立主格，解释break the laws，可以说与主句有紧密逻辑联系，在语义上是不是更合适？
另外我觉得，后面的and more than half the surgical residents work应该也是作为解释break the laws的部分，所以应该和with many residents working longer than 24 hours straight平行。所以如果D后半句的work改成working，与前面的独立主格平行，是不是要比C选项更好？
C选项的has found其实我觉得没什么还纠结的，句意通顺就行了；
D选项中的with many XXX 我觉得不太好，因为原句的意思中work longer than 24 hours是和break the laws以及more than half XXX 在一个逻辑层面上的，你把中间一个变成独立主格，就成了一个subordinate modifier，相当于改变了句意；即使你把work改成working，也肯定不如C选项来得工整和表意准确。
我还是觉得work longer than 24 hours和以及more than half XXX与break the laws 不在一个逻辑层面上，因为work longer than 24 hours和以及more than half XXX是对break laws的具体解释，独立主格的作用不就是这个吗？
要说在一个层面上的话，例如transgress morality and break laws，应该在一个大范畴上的
