The Glass House Mountains in Queensland, Australia, were sighted in 1770 by the English navigator Captain James Cook,
     by whom they were named supposedly because its
    sheer wet rocks glistered like glass.

C. Naming them supposedly since their
D. Who so named them supposedly because their

答案：　ｄ

解释：The subject of the sentence is "Glass House Mountains" and not "James Cook".
Hence, modifier cannot relate if the subject is not doing the action. The naming is done by
James Cook , but James Cook is not the subject and hence cannot suite.

白勇语法中说，主语＋谓语＋宾语（或介宾），＋ｉｎｇ，　ｉｎｇ可修饰主语，也可修饰句尾的宾语或介词的宾语　　　为什么这里不能修饰修饰 James Cook。
