我的理解：
                

A: from + doing不够准确表达句子意思；from dwindling food supplies存在岐义的可能，有可能from加动名词dwindling或from supplies；同理increasing sea surface temperatures的increasing这里应表示的是过程，实际要求表现的是结果（个人对此排除依据有保留）；resulting位于句末即有作结果状语的可能，逻辑意思有误。

B: correct，使用条件从句完整的主谓结构保证避免修饰岐义，将increasing改为名词increase避免出现做动名词或形容词修饰，将resulting改为as a result避免分词短语的功能混乱。
                

C: because of + 名词，没有准确表达句子意思
                

D: revealed一种动物，而不是revealed一种状况，改变了句意
                

E: which不能用来表示结果状语

请问本题后半句是跟着because句的，还是和suffering并列的？

that creatures of the seabed were suffering( because food supplies were dwindling, possibly as a result of an increase in)

that creatures of the seabed were suffering (because food supplies were dwindling, )possibly as a result of an increase in

也就是想问温度的增加造成的结果是food supplies 减少，还是creature的suffering?
