关于Modifier和Comma的问题

RON讲的 "A modifier must be either blocked off by commas or not blocked off by commas. You cannot block off a modifier with a comma on one side but not on the other".

刚好看到一个题，正确答案是Ｃ
The results of the company's cost-cutting measures are evident in its profits, which increased five percent during the first three months of this year after it fell over the last two years.

(A) which increased five percent during the first three months of this year after it fell
(B) which had increased five percent during the first three months of this year after it had fallen
(C) which have increased five percent during the first three months of this year after falling
(D) with a five percent increase during the first three months of this year after falling
(E) with a five percent increase during the first three months of this year after having fallen

正确答案C里面不是刚好犯了这个错误吗？
C. which have increased five percent during the first three months of this year after falling
只有前面没划线部分有Comma,后面没有comma啊？

有没有大牛可以解释一下？

并不是很能看懂你的问题。如果你要给C加逗号，你想加在哪里呀？
它是一句完整的修饰的句子~~the complete modifier is "which have increased five percent during the first three months of this year after falling over the last two years."！！

建议看一下下面这个网站里RON对于你这道题的解释。

in general, "COMMA + prep phrase modifier" is an adverbial modifier, meaning that it modifies the entirety of the preceding clause.
in this sentence, we don't want an adverbial modifier, since it doesn't make any sense for this modifier to apply to the entire preceding clause.
rather, we want a modifier that will only modify the noun at the end of the preceding clause (i.e., "profits"). since this is the exact function of a "which" modifier, that's the modifier we want here.

想问下，after falling 是作为一个从句省略了成分？补齐是否应该是 after itse profits were falling over the last two year? 这种省略我只在while 引导的从句中看到过，after 还是第一次。
或者 after falling 是作为修饰语？
