Analysts blamed May's sluggish retail sales on unexciting merchandise as well as the weather, colder and wetter than was usual in some regions，which slowed sales of barbecue grills and lawn furniture.
(A) colder and wetter than was usual in some regions，which slowed
(B) which was colder and wetter than usual in some regions，slowing
(C) since it was colder and wetter than usually in some regions，which slowed
(D) being colder and wetter than usually in some regions，slowing
(E) having been colder and wetter than was usual in some regions and slowed
答案选B，我的疑问是slowing修饰什么？
V-ing既可以做noun modifier，也可做verb modifier。且某帖说V-ing位于句尾时只能做状语，逻辑主语与主句主语一致，表伴随或结果。
可是此句里面slowing从语意上来看时修饰weather啊，但是按照语法原则岂不是修饰analysts去了（跳过非限定性同位语后）。
矛盾矛盾啊，难道不能跳过which吗？
求大家帮忙解释下啊，马上要考了。。。
