PREP没有官方解释.....解释都是CD讨论和NN总结出来的，算不上100％的正确。

(A) one指代risk，risk in a million chances表达错误；risk of doing是习惯用语。

(B) 正确，one chance in a million用以修饰little，risk of causing cancer是正确的表达方式。

(C) that it重复，前面已经有that present，it指代不清楚，无法指代复数名词toxic substances。

(D) risk后面应该跟of doing，而不是for doing。

(E) it指代不清楚；risk后面应该跟of doing，而不是to do。
