81.        Since1986, when the Department of Labor began to allow investment officers' feesto be based on how the funds they manage perform, several corporations began paying their investment advisers a small basic fee, with a contract promising higherfees if the managers perform well.
(A)         Investment officers' fees to be based on how the funds they manage perform, several corporations began
(B)         investment officers' fees to be based on the performance of the funds they manage, severalcorporations began
(C)         that fees of investment officers be based on how the funds they manage perform,several corporations have begun
(D)         fees of investment officers to be based on the performance of the funds they manage,several corporations have begun
(E)         that investment officers' fees be based on the performance of the funds they manage,several corporations began
NOTES:
“Since 1986” indicates action begun in the past anscontinuing into the present, and the form of the verb must show the continuity,as the present perfect tense does: since 1986, corporations “have begun”. In the original sentence, the pronoun “they” lacks a clear referent. While “they”should refer unambiguously to “investment officers” , grammatically its referent is somewhat unclear because “investment officers’ ” is a possessive modifying “fees”, and the plural noun “fees” intervenes between “officers’ ”and the pronoun.

正确选项是D,我的疑问是,为什么D选项的they能够没有歧义地指代 investment officers,不会指代fees呢?

请教了元叔,答复如下:
这么来说,如果看指代问题
THEY MANAGE
那我就要到前面找到
WHO 可以MANAGE这个动作
FEES 可以么?显然不可以
只有OFFICERS可以
看逻辑语义
谁可以在语义上发出这个动作
