og sc91 求教within it的所指

尽欢

Nobody knows exactly how many languages there are
in the world, partly because of the difficulty of
distinguishing between a language and the
sublanguages or dialects within it. but those who have
tried to count typically have found about five thousand.

(A)and the sublanguages or dialects within it, but
those who have tried to count typically have
found

(B)and the sublanguages or dialects within them,
with those who have tried counting typically
finding

(C)and the sublanguages or dialects within it, but
those who have tried counting it typically find

(D)or the sublanguages or dialects within them, but
those who tried to count them typically found

(E)or the sublanguages or dialects within them,
with those who have tried to count typically
finding

正解是A，之前一直认为within it的it是错的，应该是them，所指的是languages，如果是it的话，指代的是什么呢？a language？可是a language前面已经有一个介词between了啊？
