The cottontail rabbit population in Orange County, California, has increased unchecked in recent years as a result of the removal of the native fox population and the clearing of surrounding woodlands.

(A) years as a result of the removal of
(B) years as a result of removing
(C) years, resulting from the removing of
(D) years, which is a result of removing
(E) years, which is a result of the removal of

答案是A 可我选了C  这里C的removing of不是与后面的cleaning of相对应嘛 而且直接用result from不是更简洁吗

I would not choose C based on the following considerations:

1. "the removal of" is apparently better than "the removing of"

2. even though we keep "the removing of" here, there is no need to place a "," between the years and resulting. (if it is "which results from", than the "," could remain there)
