12. GWD28-Q12:
Over the next few years, increasing demands on the Chattahoochee River, which
flows into the Apalachicola River, could alter the saline content of Apalachicola  Bay,
which would rob the oysters there of their flavor, and to make them decrease in size,
less distinctive, and less in demand.

A.    which would rob the oysters there of their flavor, and to make them decrease in size

B.    and it would rob the oysters there of their flavor, make them smaller

C.    and rob the oysters there of their flavor, making them decrease in size

D.    robbing the oysters there of their flavor and making them smaller

E.     robbing the oysters there of their flavor, and making them decrease in size
答案是D。请问选项C有什么问题呢？没看明白他和saline content到底影响的是oysters还是"them"。

A 中to make显然不对；
B中make前还是要加and,以后存在的那个and 是make them ...+ ...and...,
同时it 指代不清楚，如果说this possibility更明确些；
C 中逻辑不通，增长的需求rob....就不对了，是整个这个情况导致。。。
D 中smaller比decrease in size 简洁。

为什么不选E呢？decrease in size 不是正好和后面的less in demand 对称吗？

有人帮帮忙吗？

C中最明显的错误是decrease是动词， 后面的less distinctive, less in demand 是形容词，不能形成并列。

语意上讲，rob不能和alter并列，更应为为alter的伴随状语，表示alter动作产生的结果。
