OG13 107题 关于强调句的正确用法求指教

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.

(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.
这道题中OG对于强调句的解释是，The emphatic construction it is X that does Y (as in the phrase it is Jane who knows the answer) should be used only when there is a compelling reason to emphasize the doer of the action. In this sentence, the emphatic construction is used without good reason.
我自己的理解是：根据语意来说，这个句子表达的两类costs---cost of running，和fixed costs没有主次之分（仅仅算是个对比吧），并没有要强调fixed costs的意思，所以用强调句的结构是不合理的。
求问：Q1我的理解对吗？Q2我看见很多题目中强调句的结构都被判做wordy。OG解释中的compelling reason，什么才是compelling reason？什么情况下才可以用强调句呢？

我觉得这道题考是否合适用强调句式不能完全判断选项是否正确。但是A，B选项的强调句式使用有误。

While it ...

对呀，现在再看这个题，觉得自己太钻牛角尖了~谢谢啦~

红色部分是modifier，省略后句子为it is the fixed costs that makes it more expensive for them to generate electricity.此处强调的名词为复数，显然应用make而非makes

感觉这道题最大的考点应该是it的指代不一~

谢谢~~~虽然没有找到有效的解答，不过我觉得有句话说的蛮对的，与其知道正确选项在什么情况下是对的，不如好好看看错误选项为什么是错的。

其实露珠，这个题目你理解的是对的
句子的意思不在于强调，是fix cost更贵

嘻嘻嘻，我就是特别想知道，到底是什么情况需要用强调句= =！

句意只是说，running的价格一样，但是fix价格更高，是转折
