By a vote of 9 to 0, the Supreme Court awarded the Central Intelligence Agency broad discretionary powers enabling it to withhold from the public the identities of its sources of intelligence information.
(A) enabling it to withhold from the public
(B) for it to withhold from the public
(C) for withholding disclosure to the public of
(D) that enable them to withhold from public disclosure
(E) that they can withhold public disclosure of

Logical predication + Agreement
In this correct sentence, the underlined phrase clearly modifies powers; it refers to the Central Intelligence Agency. To withhold from the public is concise, idiomatic, and clear.
A Correct. The sentence clearly and grammatically explains that the Court granted powers that enable the Central Intelligence Agency to withhold certain information from the public.
B An -ing modifier should begin the phrase
describing powers; for it to ... is not idiomatic
C For withholding is not the correct idiom;
withholding disclosure is inaccurate since it is
actually the identities that are to be withheld;
disclosure to the public of is awkward
D Them does not agree with the Central Intelligence Agenc, withhold ... disclosure is wordy and imprecise since it is in fact the identities that are withheld ...77
E They does not agree with the Central Intelligence Agency; withhold ... disclosure is inaccurate since it is the identities that are withheld
The correct answer is A.
A award B powers enabling it to do sth.     A 的 it 为什么清晰地指代了B 而不是A? 就近指代, 还是指代主语？？想不通 ：（
