It is unclear whether chimpanzees are unique among nonhuman species in their ability to learn behaviors from one another, or if, when other animals are studied in as much depth, similar patterns would be found.

 

(A) if, when other animals are studied in as much depth, similar patterns would be found

(B) if other animals were studied with as much depth they would exhibit similar patterns

(C) would similar patterns be found in other animals if they were studied in as much depth

(D) whether similar patterns would be exhibited in other animals that were studied with as much depth

(E) whether other animals would exhibit similar patterns if they were studied in as much depth

答案选E，但是怎么看they都觉得指代有歧义，既可以指other animals也可以指patterns，且逻辑都通呀？迷惑中！！！

请XDJM指教！在此先谢过了！

在带从句的句子中，如果主句/从句主语中有代词，优先指向对应句子的主语。

即这里 they 指向 other animals

这里的they 和their可以指代不一致吗？
