求解OG上的一道语法题！！

The use of lie detectors is based on the assumption that lying produces emotional reactions in an individual that, in turn, create unconscious physiological responses.
答案是A, that引导的是定语从句吧？既然引导定语从句，先行词是emotional reactions吧？那为啥要放在individual后面呢？在xdf听课时有A prep B clause C 如果prep B 做状语，定语从句就近指代原则规定clause C 指代A错，但这道题A答案明显不符合就近指代原则呀。。。

如果把in an individual放到后面就有歧义了。
create unconscious physiological responses in an individual

这样就不知道in an individual是修饰responses的呢，还是emotional reactions

The use of lie detectors       is based on     the assumption x

assumption x = lying produces emotional reactions ( in an individual that, in turn, )    create  xxx responses.

这里的that不是用来引出create  xxx responses，我的理解是这个that是用来引出那两个逗号中间的 in turn

小弟認為~
應該是因為
樓主沒注意到~CREATE是複數型態
所以明確的跳躍指代emotional reactions
不是修飾單數名詞an individual
