根本不同是 A 选项，to be caused by human beings in burning fossil fuels, 直接原因是 human beings。C  ...

first off, the construction (preposition) + NOUN + VERBing is WRONG, unless the preposition refers directly to the NOUN. (that isn't usually the case, so, if you're in doubt, you should strike choices with this sort of construction.)

for instance:
i've never heard of bees stinging dogs
WRONG. this is not an issue of whether you've heard of bees themselves; it's an issue of whether you've heard of their stinging dogs.

...results in the act of stinging causing...
WRONG. this doesn't result in the act of stinging itself; it results in what is caused by the act of stinging.

i have a picture of my cousin playing hockey.
CORRECT. this time, the picture is actually of my cousin, so we're good.

therefore, (a) and (d) are wrong because of "...results in the act of stinging causing...".

前段时间在Manhattan上看到的一个关于其它题目的解释，强调的一点“Prep+Noun+Ving”是一个必错的选项。联想到这题“human being in burning”，直接原因应该是“Human being burning fossil fuel”这个动作而不是“human being”，现在终于明白过来了，谢谢！

云游兄；

题贴错啦

分析一下A为什么不对，我只贴一个我觉得有意思的知识点；

摘录；
章振邦的《新编英语语法》

有一种关系分句（即定语从句），它既是先行项的后置修饰语（即定语），同时又是另外一个分句结构的宾语（即宾语从句）”此分句结构就被嵌入在定语从句中，即嵌入式关系分句。

：In his breast-pocket he had a patch of scarlet, which i suppose was the paper cap serving as a handkerchief.

：1）从句which was the paper cap serving as a handkerchief 首先是 patch of scarlet的定语从句。

               2）从句which（patch of scarlet） was the paper cap serving as a handkerchief 也是i suppose 的宾语从句，即I suppose （that）the patch of scarlet was the paper cap serving as a handkerchief 。

但这只是语法游戏了，我一直更习惯把……（agree/think……）当成一种插入成份去掉，觉得没有什么不妥
我只能说我从来没有见过A这种用法（去掉scientist agree 后定语从句没有了谓语），C是正确的。

The World Wildlfe Fund has declared that global warming, a phenomenon （that) most scientists agree is caused by human beings' burning of fossil fuels, will create havoc among migratory birds by altering the environment in ways harmful to their habitats.

红色部分整体是phenomenon的定语，most scientists agree就是所谓的嵌合，我们可以直接去掉most scientists agree

LZ能贴下完整的题目咩=。=

曾经把这题给贴错了，这里附上正确的版本，希望没有误导大家。

a) A phenomenon most scientists agree to be caused by human beings in burning fossil fuels,
b) a phenomenon most scientists agree that is caused by fossil fuels burned by human beings,
c) a phenomenon that most scientists agree is caused by human beings's burning of fossil fuels
d) which most scientists agree on as phenomenon caused by human beings who burn fossil fuels,
e) which most scientsts agree to be a phenomenon caused by fossil fuels burned by human beings

是啊,当时确实贴了错了，造成理解麻烦不好意思~关于此题，这里还有个问题：
a phenomenon that most scientist agree is caused by human beings in burning fossil fuels 这种表达能否说通？还是必须是a phenomenon that most scientist agree is caused by human beings' burning of fossile fuels...? 谢谢！

我会觉得第一种用法不好，
先看in的用法；while doing something or while something is happening, and as a result of this
                        例句；In trying to protect the queen, Howard had put his own life in danger
也就是in和by在这个句子里都是因为……造成……

“sth is caused in” …… 由……导致  。“ sth is caused by ”     因为……原因

举个中文例子。1；环境问题是由于污染千成的    2；环境问题是由于官员不作为造成的。
                         但是我们不应该说环境问题是因为官员不作为由于污染造成的

但是如果这个句子改成这样；我觉得应该没有问题，即去掉In

a phenomenon that most scientist agree is caused by human beings burning fossil fuels

不知道云游兄以为然否？

谢谢大家，我也明白了。英文逻辑性真强

呃，这么久才看到
"a phenomenon that most scientist agree is caused by human beings burning fossil fuels"
这句话中，burning是修饰human being的吗？

C不算双重所有格么

The World Wildlife Fund has declared that global warming, a phenomenon most scientists agree to be caused by human beings in burning fossil fuels, will create havoc among migratory birds by altering the environment in ways harmful to their habitats.

That should be as close as phenomenon. Like a phenomenon that............


We elinimate A
So we go with C

A. "agree to be caused by human beings in burning"B. "agree is caused by human beings' burning"比较A ...

想一想也是，agree to do 表示同意去做， 肯定只有动作的发出者才能够选择做还是不做， 动作的承受者肯定不能选择承受还是不承受。比如， 只有说 “我同意去吃午饭的“ ，   没有说 ”午饭同意被我吃的”
