11.    The growth of the railroads led to the abolition of local times, which was determined by when the sun reached the observer’s meridian and differing from city to city, and to the establishment of regional times.
(A) which was determined by when the sun reached the observer’s meridian and differing
(B) which was determined by when the sun reached the observer’s meridian and which differed
(C) which were determined by when the sun reached the observer’s meridian and differing
(D) determined by when the sun reached the observer’s meridian and differed
(E) determined by when the sun reached the observer’s meridian and differing

正确答案是E，我觉得C也对，哪位NN解释一下WHICH和分词在修饰句子时的用法吧，个人觉得E有歧意DETERMIN和DIFFER 有修饰主语The growth 的嫌疑

C错在differing[现在粉刺]同定语从句并列修饰local times。即便理解为differing同determined并列也不对，因为从时态的角度成了一般过去时同过去进行时的并列。如果要改，我认为应该是：
which were determined by when the sun reached the observer’s meridian and WHICH DIFFERED
