The four-million-year-oldfossilized skeleton known as Lucy is so small compared with many otherskeletons presumed to be of the same species, and so somepaleontologists have argued that Lucy represents a different lineage.
A.    presumed to be of the same species, and so
B.     presumed to be of the same species that
C.    presumed that they are of the same species, and so
D.     that they havepresumed to be of the same species, so that   (B)E.   that they have presumed areof the same species, and
that they have presumed are of the same species,and选B,抛开别的问题不看，关于D,是不是so that句型里， that 后面的代词必须指代主语呀？就是说they 必须指代fossilized skeleton？可不可以指代many other skeletons？因为感觉指代many other skeletons意思也说的通。
谢谢

个人认为，代词指代之前的主语中，这道题只能指代skeletons, 因为其他的都是单数，并不引起歧义，而如果在别的句子中却会引起歧义。
