C选项中that 不是应该紧跟在所修饰的名词后面么，如果说这里that是跳跃修饰，是因为that后面的内容太长因此后置的么？是不是如果其他选项有明显错误，则that跳跃修饰是可以接受的呢，是不是并没有that应该紧跟在所修饰的名词后面这条rule啊

OG-107While it costs about the same to run nuclear plants as other types of power plants, it is the fixed costs that stem from building nuclear plants that makes it more expensive for them to generate electricity.
(A) While it costs about the same to run nuclear plants as other types of power plants, it is the fixed costs that stem from building nuclear plants that makes it more expensive for them to generate electricity.
(B) While the cost of running nuclear plants is about the same as for other types of power plants, the fixed costs that stem from building nuclear plants make the electricity they generate more expensive.
(C) Even though it costs about the same to run nuclear plants as for other types of power plants, it is the fixed costs that stem from building nuclear plants that makes the electricity they generate more expensive.
(D) It costs about the same to run nuclear plants as for other types of power plants, whereas the electricity they generate is more expensive, stemming from the fixed costs of building nuclear plants.
(E) The cost of running nuclear plants is about the same as other types of power plants, but the electricity they generate is made more expensive because of the fixed costs stemming from building nuclear plants
.答案选B 可是这里they指代costs,应该指代 nuclear plants 吧~
