106. Originally developed for detecting air pollutants, a technique called proton-induced X-ray emission, which can quickly analyze the chemical elements in almost any substance without destroying it, is finding uses in medicine, archaeology, and criminology.

(A) Originally developed for detecting air pollutants, a technique called proton-induced X-ray emission, which can quickly analyze the chemical elements in almost any substance without destroying it,

(B) Originally developed for detecting air pollutants, having the ability to analyze the chemical elements in almost any substance without destroying it, a technique called proton-induced X-ray emission

(C) A technique originally developed for detecting air pollutants, called proton-induced X-ray emission, which can quickly analyze the chemical elements in almost any substance without destroying it,

(D) A technique originally developed for detecting air pollutants, called proton-induced X-ray emission, which has the ability to analyze the chemical elements in almost any substance quickly and without destroying it,

(E) A technique that was originally developed for detecting air pollutants and has the ability to analyze the chemical elements in almost any substance quickly and without destroying the substance, called proton-induced X-ray emission,

OG解释说 CD的which指代 emission指代错误，那为什么A的which就没有问题？

正好重温到曼哈顿修饰的这一章，名词性修饰语可以跳跃指代的情况，就包括跳过定义性质的短语，也即是说，A中的called proton-induced X-ray emission是给technique的一个定义，如果没有这个短语，technique单独存在没有任何意义。

manhattan上面的例句：He had a way OF DODGING OPPONENTS that impressed the scouts.
that跳过了大写的部分修饰way。曼哈顿上面的解释：Without this modifier, the noun WAY is almost meaningless.

+1。Manhattan管这个叫mission critical modifier（对表意起到重大作用的修饰语）, 由that which引导可以不满足touch rules（就是关系代词必须紧跟先行词）

A中called proton induced X-ray emission是a technique的修饰语
不同与此，C、D中called...emission前后有逗号，是插入语，扔掉之后句子表意应该仍然完整，所以也可以理解为which修饰的是air pollutants。

谢谢各位，明白了，再看看MANHATTAN
