[OG13#114] 拍砖请教Starfish题中with的问题

XSWSunny

Starfish, with anywhere from five to eight arms, have a strong regenerative ability, and if[size=12.800000190734863px] one arm is lost it quickly replaces it, sometimes by the animal overcompensating and growing an extra one or two.

A one arm is lost it quickly replaces it, sometimes by the animal overcompensating and
B one arm is lost it is quickly replaced, with the animal sometimes overcompensating and
C they lose one arm they quickly replace it, sometimes by the animal overcompensating,
D they lose one arm they are quickly replaced, with the animal sometimes overcompensating,
E they lose one arm it is quickly replaced, sometimes with the animal overcompensating,

1、这一题中C选项错误解释是This answer choice allows the unintended reading that the animal replaces the missing arm by overcompensating是什么意思？此题不考虑缺少and的问题，本来这题的意思是什么？难道不是想表达海星通过overcompensating and growing extra one or two来replace the missing arm吗？

2，with...修饰的究竟是Starfish have a strong regenerative ability还是什么？如果修饰的是这句话，它能跨越and if....后的另一个平行的clause修饰前者吗？？

个人觉得此处with + the noun + modifier是一个absolute phrase的结构，修饰前面整个句子，参加曼哈顿SC分册Chapter 12
这里的with...修饰前面的one arm is lost it is quickly replaced
如果断了只手就长出来一只，有时也会多长一条手  with部分描述的是前句的某些特殊情况
