曼哈顿SC开头拦路虎，求问心累的修饰语问题

AnneliseLin

鸡麦弱鸡终于下定决心认真啃曼哈顿SC，结果一开头就遇上拦路虎
曼哈顿6th第一章 THE SC PROCESS的第一道例题


Although William Pereira first gained national recognition for his movie set designs, including those for Reap the Wild Wind and Jane Eyre, future generations remember
him as the architect of the Transamerica Tower, the Malibu campus of Pepperdine University, and the city of Irvine.
(A)including those for Reap the Wild Wind and Jane Eyre, future
generations remember
(B) like that for Reap the Wild Wind and Jane Eyre, future generations
will remember
(C) like those for Reap the Wild Wind and Jane Eyre, future generations
remembered
(D)including that for Reap the Wild Wind and Jane Eyre, future
generations remembered
(E) including those for Reap the Wild Wind and Jane Eyre, future
generations will remember


请问这里的including为什么是修饰movie set designs呢？ 前面不是有逗号咩？
看了好多帖子都是说comma+ing modifier不能作为名词修饰语哇
我的理解是，including修饰的是recognition，所以选了D，也就是including recognition for 那部电影，好像也没有问题？？

迷惑...
A comma followed by an -ing word generally does NOT modify the noun (if any) right before the comma. That is, a "comma -ing" set-up is not a traditional noun modifier; it is an adverbial modifier (modifying things other than nouns only).

This is from Ron's notes:

"including" is an EXCEPTION to the otherwise robust rules for comma+ing modifiers.
when you see "comma + including", you should think of "including" as a preposition, not as an -ing modifier. therefore, "including X" will become a prepositional phrase that describes the stuff preceding the comma.

For D:
You thought comma+ing can't modify a noun, but why did you consider that comma+ing can modify "recognition" , which is also a noun?
what is "that" referred to?
"future generations" indicates that something will happen, so any reason to choose a past tense "remembered"?
