D. to procreate, and feelings are products of the conscious mind, which reflect
E. to procreate, and that feelings, which are products of the conscious mind, reflecting

答案选C
但maintain引导的宾语从句中emotions的谓语什么？ evolved? 时态上跟第二个宾语从句不平行啊？

scientists maintain that emotions,               ,evolved (in...)to help animals survive
                                            (, which are.....),                       and procreate,    
                   and that  feelings,                    ,reflect........
                                            (, which are.....),
文章结构是大平行，主要是靠语义理解。
evolved之所以是过去时，因为evolve以前已经发生了（相对于科学家的发现来讲）
reflect——feelings reflect的内容是：一种科学事实或研究成果，用一般现在时
