OG12-SC-71 it指代问题

Unlike the original National Museum of Science and Technology in Italy, where the models are encased in glass or operated only by staff members, the Virtual Leonardo Project, an online version of the museum, encourages visitors to “touch” each exhibit, which thereby activates the animated functions of the piece.
(A) exhibit, which thereby activates
(B) exhibit, in turn an activation of
(C) exhibit, and it will activate
(D) exhibit and thereby activate
(E) exhibit which, as a result, activates
OG说C选项it没有指代对象，所以排除；但是在此句中It指代对象是Virtual Leonardo Project，这样C选项也说得通。一直纠结于指代问题，求牛牛解答。

个人看法：

It的指代对象可以理解为Virtual Leonardo Project，但此时project与activate搭配不当，activate的应该是人。project不能activate。

activate的施动者应该是touch的动作，而不是project。
