On Earth, among the surest indications of sunspot cycles are believed to be the rate that trees grow, as seen in the rings visible in the cross sections of their trunks.
     

A.      On Earth, among the surest indications of sunspot cycles are believed to be the rate that trees grow
     

B.      On Earth, among the surest indications of sunspot cycles are, it is believed, the rate of tree growth
     

C.      On Earth, the rate at which trees grow is believed to be among the surest indications of sunspot cycles
     

D.     Among the surest indications on Earth of sunspot cycles, believed to be the tree growth rate
     

E.      Among the surest indications on Earth of sunspot cycles is believed to be the rate at which trees grow
     

焦点在选项C和E

C: 我仔细看了一下句子，是的their是会导致指代歧义，同时可能指代两个不同的复数名词

E：其实也有问题：我想说的是大家不觉得选项E的不常见吗？我查了一下语法书，这种倒装不是常规部分倒装，也不是全部倒装（大家可以自己倒装一下看看），但选项E其实不是规范的倒装可能是因为主语有定从的关系才这样用，但这样就会使句子看起来没有主语，i.e. the rate 象是 is belived to be 的宾语。

客观地说，要是逼着选一个，就选E了，因为C的语法错误是我们可以确定的。
