egardless of their form or function, all aerodynamically enhanced, curved objects made for throwing have been called boomerangs by non-Australians ever since 1788, when Europeans saw Dharug-speaking men tossing "bumariny" in the area later known as Sydney.

答案是A 这题我看哪个都对。。。我选的是C，不明白到底错在那里

C选项from when 的用法不对的吧， 要表示 从。。。起   可以用 from+时间   或者 when+从句
 
第二点就是 ever since 1788 这个是描述 call的修饰词，应该尽量紧靠call（这一点与A相比，A更好，不能说这是C的绝对错误，只是A在修饰词位置上比C要好一些）

第三点，A选项主语是 Booeranges ，their无论是优先指代主语，或者优先指代离他近的复数名词，都是指代boomeranges，没有指代歧义。
       C选项的主语是Non-Australians， 后面的their如果优先指代主语，则造成逻辑错误，所以存在指代模糊。
