【跳跃修饰问题】请各位NN进来看看这个句子的核心词是哪一个

One pervasive theoryexplains the introduction of breakfast cereals in the early 1900s as a result of the growing number of automobiles, which led to a decline inhorse ownership and a subsequent grain glut.

根据sjmdlyc的牛帖（http://forum.chasedream.com/GMAT_SC/thread-499613-1-1.html）
在前有“核心词+（非从属关系的）介词结构 / 分词修饰结构 / 插入语”的情况下，which跳跃修饰前面的核心词，不能修饰紧邻的名词。


但是，a result of the growing number of automobiles的结构不是 A of B 从属结构吗？那么which应该就近修饰automobiles才对啊


请问这里的“a result of...”的结构到底是不是从属关系结构呢？这句话的核心词到底应该是result还是automobiles呢？
