旧prep1,第70题求助

留学有点难

It is unclear whether chimpanzees are unique among nonhuman species in their ability to learn behaviors from one another, or   if, when other animals are studied in as much depth, similar patterns would be found.

(A) if, when other animals are studied in as much depth, similar patterns would be found
(B) if other animals were studied with as much depth they would exhibit similar patterns
(C) would similar patterns be found in other animals if they were studied in as much depth
(D) whether similar patterns would be exhibited in other animals that were studied with as much depth
(E) whether other animals would exhibit similar patterns if they were studied in as much depth

答案选E，但是我觉得e中的they和未划线部分的their指代不同事物
但是由于指代一致原则：they/their 在句子中必须有明确的指代对象，即句中出现过的复数名词，而不能暗指“大众群体”；相同的代词在同一个句子中必须指代相同的名词，使代词指代一致以避免产生歧义。
是不是应该e也不对啊？

真纠结...希望大家多多帮助

第一个their应该是指代chimpanzees吧，第二个是other animals，不知道their和thery算不同指代吗？等NN解答
