In the past several years, astronomers have detected more than 80 massive planets, most of them as large or larger than Jupiter, which circle other stars.

(A) most of them as large or larger than Jupiter, which circle

(B) most of them as large or larger than Jupiter and circling

(C) most of them at least as large as Jupiter, circling

(D) mostly at least as large as Jupiter, which circle

(E) mostly as large or larger than Jupiter, circling
  

破解得解释认为D错误得原因是mostly副词修饰错误，我认为绝对是正确得，最初在做得时候就是选得D，当时认为C中得them完全可以造成修饰歧异，刚再做得时候发觉D还有个问题，which应该是修饰J星呢，还是跳跃修饰前面得planets呢，根据逻辑意思应该是跳跃修饰吧，这地方有点晕

我觉得不是circle 应该用单数形式的缘故。

实际上：which应该要指代 80 massive planets的。

d相比较c而言容易引起争议，没有c合理。

定于从句优先就近修饰原则，使得d不太妥帖。

c中circling 状语表伴随动作，逻辑主语是80 massive planets

恩，我已经改了，发觉这个问题了，谢谢LS

circling 是作为修饰宾语PLANET的伴随状语还是定语？ 是不是在没有其他队的情况下，分词后置就没有歧义了？

我不明白为什么插入语" most of them at least as large as Jupiter"

没有谓语呢？为什么不是：most of them are at least as large as Jupiter?

most of them at least as large as Jupiter<-獨立主格
如果變成most of them are at least as large as Jupiter, 那就是run-on sentence.

为什么不是(C) most of which are at least as large as Jupiter, circling?

关于这个我也很疑惑，但是我查了网上的一些说法，试着解释一下。
在这里，most of them at least as large as Jupiter是做插入语，补充说明80 massive planets的情况。插入语不会影响句子原有的结构和意思，那么circling就顺理成章地修饰的是 planets，而不是Jupiter，这和句子的逻辑意思是一致的。如果改成most of which就成了非限定性定语从句，改变了句子结构，circling就成了修饰Jupiter，与句子逻辑意思拧巴了。
