(A)sentences, which allow the criminals to remain unconfined while they perform specific jobs benefiting the public, have
(B)sentences, performing specific jobs that benefit the public while being allowed to remain unconfined, have
(C)sentences, performing specific jobs beneficial to the public while they are allowed to remain unconfined, have
(D)sentences which allow them to remain unconfined in their performing of specific jobs beneficial to the public has
(E) sentences allowing them to remain unconfined while performing specific jobs that benefit the public has
偶知道ABCD有错，但是 E 的that 难道没有指代不清的嫌疑吗？（可能jobs也可能指sentences)

我为啥记得以前老师说过，that 只能指代单数，复数要用those来指代呢？
