关于including的解释,有些疑问, "including" is an exception to the usual comma -ing rules.
the best way to think about "including" is to consider it a preposition, i.e., don't think about it as a -ing construction at all. usually, comma + "including" refers to the noun or noun phrase that is located before the comma, as it does in the correct answer here.
