The peaks of a mountain range, acting like rocks in a streambed, produce ripples in the air flowing over them; the resulting flow pattern, with crests and troughs that remain stationary although the air that forms them is moving rapidly, are known as "standing waves".

although这里的用法是不正确的,以下来自DUKE版主的千行中的摘要(借花献佛),
“incorrect use of 'although' in the subordinate clause: 'although' has to separate a CLAUSE (with a verb) from another CLAUSE (with a verb). 'Stationary crests and troughs' doesn't have a verb.”(所以我猜想这题在OG13被删除就是因为although用法不正确)
后面是我自己的见解,给LZ做个参考,而且C和E的意思也相差太远,表现如下:
1)stationary crests and thoughs 表示crests and thoughs 的本质是stationary,而Crests and troughs that remain stationary 是强调这一时刻它们保持静止,并没有说stationary是Crests and troughs 本身的性质
2)更重要的是,although里面强调的是动作is forming,翻译出来就是组成它们(Crests and troughs)的空气正在迅速移动,而D是它们形成于迅速移动的空气,C的语义和原句A差别太大,因此排除E

个人感觉although不一定非要连接两个句子,
就好些这个题目:
SVO; S, with N adj although SVO, VO.
with作为名词修饰语修饰pattern。

恩,今天我自己重新看到其他的题目有关although,的确although的用法没有当初理解得这么死板,谢谢啦。
