A study of food resources in the North Pacific between 1989 and 1996 revealed that creatures of the seabed were suffering from dwindling food supplies, possibly resulting from increasing sea surface temperatures during the same period.

(A) that creatures of the seabed were suffering from dwindling food supplies, possibly resulting from increasing

(B) that creatures of the seabed were suffering because food supplies were dwindling, possibly as a result of an increase in

(C) that creatures of the seabed were suffering because of food supplies, which were dwindling possibly as a result of increasing

(D) creatures of the seabed that were suffering from food supplies that were dwindling, possibly resulting from an increase in

(E) creatures of the seabed that were suffering because food supplies were dwindling, which possibly resulted from increasing

正确答案是选择B。但是想问到底什么时候选择increaing sea surface temperatures ,什么时候选择an increase in sea surface temperatures ?我知道，名词或者V-ed表示结果，可是以前做过PREP08，也碰到过这种类似的题目，不知道大家还有没有印象，就是考一个并列，结果正确选项选择了a rising altitude,语意和这题也很像。

如果从语意角度来看，我怎么觉得increaing sea surface temperatures 比an increase in sea surface temperatures 要好啊！
请牛人赶紧解答。急啊

(A) sb. suffer from B,表示sb.遭受了B, B表示的是遭受的结果,因此使用dwindling不好,现在分词一般
表示过程,    应该使用名词或过去分词表示结果;    同样increasing也不好, result from后面接事实,表示原
因,    应该用increased或者an increase来代替increasing
(B)    正确。
(C) because of food supplies强调的是food supplies,  而从逻辑上应该强调dwindle; increasing不好,
应该用increased或者an increase来表示结果
(D) revealed creature of the seabed强调的是名词creature of the seabed,    不能准确的表达revealed
的完整意思
(E)    除了D中的错误外, which不能指代整个句子,使用错;increasing使用错误
