In the past several years, astronomers have detected more than 80 massive planets, most of them

as large or larger than Jupiter, which circle other stars.

(A) most of them as large or larger than Jupiter, which circle

(B) most of them as large or larger than Jupiter and circling

(C) most of them at least as large as Jupiter, circling

(D) mostly at least as large as Jupiter, which circle

(E) mostly as large or larger than Jupiter, circling

答案是C，
问题1：them不应该优先指astronomers么？复数代词什么时候就近指代，什么时候指主句主语？？？？？
问题2：circling应该是指planets，但是prep解释说most of them at least as large as Jupiter是插入语，去掉后，circling直接跟在planets后，但doing的用法是指主句主语或主句一句话，没有说就近指代的。

花子落落

就近修饰planets
对吖~中间插入语~无视它~
