A is wrong for sure.
I feel ' as a result of ' is wordy in Gmat. I tried to find some supports, But i didn't find any. I will post it here if i see some evidences.

I find it. what i remembered is wrong. OG78 mentions with the result of wordy, NOT as a result of wordy.

我想joice mm 想找的是这个例子：

257. The direction in which the Earth and the other solid planets --Mercury, Venus, and Mars -- spins were determined from collisions with giant celestial bodies in the early history of the Solar System.
A. spins were determined from
B. spins were determined because of
C. spins was determined through
D. spin was determined by
E. spin was determined as a result of

answer is D. In E, the phrase determined as a result of is redundant, awkward, and unidiomatic.

但我不认为ETS 排斥 as a result of :

263. In A.D. 391. resulting from the destruction of the largest library of the ancient world at Alexandria, later generations lost all but the lliad and Odyssey among Greek epics, most of the poetry of Pindar and Sappho, and dozens of plays by Aeschylus and Euripides.

A. resulting from the destruction of the largest library of the ancient world at Alexandria,
B. the destroying of the largest library of the ancient world at Alexandria resulted and
C. because of the result of the destruction of the library at Alexandria, the largest of the ancient world,
D. as a result of the destruction of the library at Alexandria, the largest of the ancient world,
E. Alexandria's largest library of the ancient world was destroyed, and the result was

answer is D

所以就像LZM 说的：有名词形式优先选名词；若两个选项都有名词形式，as a result of > resulting from, 后半句是我的理解。

D.  determined by is correct idiom. plus, the Earth and the other solid planets spin + The direction was, D is therefore  the best.
'as a result of' is redundant here is because of ' determined by' .我也不排斥 用' as a result of' . it is not alway awkward.  . for exemple:  the Earth and the other solid planets spin is a result of  A collisions with B.
Thanks, freegirl MM.

另外，我查了一下LZM，说到：as a result of 一般是用于修饰整个句子，而不是修饰一个名词一。修饰一个名词的只能用resulting from ，不知这种解释是否可行？

it depends. the following is an exemple from freegirl:

answer is D

resulting from---, noun---
A. resulting from modifies later generations. says that later generations resulting from---. So A is wrong.

joice

I may wrong. welcome rebuttal.

BTY, how can two MM got different explanations from LZM?

这道题另外一个考虑是：A中burning的逻辑主语不清。 一般现在分词都可以在句子中找到逻辑主语，而且一般和主句的主语一致
