A study of food resources in the North Pacific between 1989 and 1996 revealed that creatures of the seabed were suffering from dwindling food supplies, possibly a result from increasing sea surface temperatures during the same period【B】 A. that creatures of the seabed were suffering from dwindling food supplies, possibly a result from increasing B. that creatures of the seabed were suffering because food supplies were dwindling, possibly as a result of an increase in 因为C\D\E可以马上排除，这儿就不放了；主要是A和B的区别。 我自己觉得唯一A不好的一点是a result of后面跟ing表示动作，不如名词形式表示结果好；然后GMAC给的答案解释说： “The placement of the final appositive (possibly a result. . . ) causes confusion as to what is being described—dwindling food or suffering creatures; the preposition from is not idiomatic.” 然后我就不明白了，为什么A会cause confusion而B不会呢？
事实上a result想解释的是食物减少的原因，如果是像A选项 creatures of the seabed were suffering from dwindling food supplies 我感觉就是a result可以认为是解释dwindling food supplies的原因，或者是解释creature suffer的原因（解释全句）
而B选项呢 a result只能修饰前面的句子，because，所以就不存在这层歧义，因为把A选项的名词组变成了主谓结构
