A common disability in the test pilots is hearing impairment, a consequence of sitting too close to large jet engines for long periods of time.
A, the same
B, a consequence from sitting for long periods of tome too near to large jet engines
C, a consequence which resulted from sitting too close to large jet engines for long periods of time
D, damaged from sitting too neat large jet engines for long periods of time
E, damaged because they sat too close to ;arge jet engines for long periods of time

The correct answer is A.
But i choose C. I think C is better than A because I think "DOING sth" can not follow "of". Is it right?

thanks for your nice assistance!

并没有of 后不能跟doing sth的原则，of 后需要名词性结构，doing sth即名词性结构。
C项的主要错误在于重复，consequence已经含有“.....的结果之意”，这与动词result from的意思构成重复多余的表达，不够简洁。

时态、语态也可以说明C不太好。
