Astronomers and Massive Planets

xiang5796

In the past several years, astronomers have detected more than 80 massive planets, most of them as large or larger than Jupiter, which circle other stars.

A. most of them as large or larger than Jupiter, which circle
B. most of them as large or larger than Jupiter and circling
C. most of them at least as large as Jupiter, circling
D. mostly at least as large as Jupiter, which circle
E. mostly as large or larger than Jupiter, circling

OA:C
C里面的them不是既可以指astronomers，又可以指planets吗？
指代不明却，为什么C还是对？

感觉这个是不是就是就近原则了？

或者排除法也可以， most of them as large or larger than Jupiter 应该是作为插入语的, 所以就是直接解释的 planets。

这个them指代不会造成歧义，指代astronomers讲不通，所以没问题。

是不是确实是插入语，然后circling 的修饰就不会有歧义了，其实我选择的是D我总觉得circling放在句尾有歧义修饰
