Data gathered by weather satellites has been analyzed by scientists, reporting that the Earth's northern latitudes have become about ten percent greener since 1980, due to more vigorous plant growth associated with warmer temperatures and higher levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide.

(A) Data gathered by weather satellites has been analyzed by scientists, reporting that the Earth's northern latitudes have

(B) Data gathered by weather satellites has been analyzed by scientists, and they report the Earth's northern latitudes as having

(C) After analyzing data gathered by weather satellites, scientists report that the Earth's northern latitudes have

(D) After analysis of data, gathered by weather satellites, scientists report the Earth's northern latitudes as having

(E) After data gathered by weather satellites was analyzed by scientists, who report that the Earth's northern latitudes have

这题选C，楼主的问题是 A 为什么不可以。可不可以理解为 reporting作伴随状语解释了数据被分析后的影响，那前后两个分句就存在因果关系，因为数据被分析了，因此报告地球。。。这样理解有问题吗？

有

SVO, + v-ing 的结构里，v-ing作状语修饰语,必须满足以下两点:
1)v-ing修饰(modify)前面从句的整个动作，并且需要适用于(apply to)前面从句的主语;
2)v-ing的动作与主动词同时发生并且附属于主动词;或者v-ing的动作是主动词的直接结果;

A选项里Data变成report的主语了，错。
同时，本句的语义重点在于report, 而不是用reporting去修饰be analyzed. 所以用v-ing不合适。
