这题我选B，不过因为做题思路不够熟练废了点时间，我是这么看的

先从题目分析，我把从句改了颜色，所以LZ可以看出句首的这句话其实就是个很大的Noun，即：Noun that结构。正常这个结构应该是修饰后面的svo主句结构的主语的，所以划线句必须有主谓宾，所以DE排掉，不是正确的句子结构，没有谓语

然后看ABC：graveteiro belongs to the ovenbird family 是SVO结构对了，后面的a group of 是modifier，是修饰前面Noun的，也就是family

that的从句通常应该是修饰就近的前置名词，也就是这里的bird。但是当语义和语法都有问题的时候能够“跳跃修饰”
more than 230 species不能修饰bird，但是能够跳跃修饰a group of xxxx，所以谓语应该用单数
所以应该用that includes and (that) is

所以选B了

谢谢~~~

顺便问一下，a group of xxxs的谓语用单数还是复数呢？比如a group of scientists

单数。建议你先看下曼哈顿的SC书，里面把基本知识点都扫了一遍，堪称是SC复习的bible

不是考察X of Y中要和哪个配合，和a group或birds配合都可，但通过and并列的两个谓语动词要一致（同时单数或同时复数）
