The use of lie detectors is based on the assumption that lying produces emotional reactions in an individual that, in turn, create unconscious physiological responses.
(A) that, in turn, create unconscious physiological responses
(B) that creates unconscious physiological responses in turn
(C) creating, in turn, unconscious physiological responses
(D) to create, in turn, physiological responses that are unconscious
(E) who creates unconscious physiological responses in turn
As per OG, option D is incorrect as the construction doesnt create a clear causal chain of events, because it is unclear which noun to create should be attached to.
Isnt it clear that subject of "to create" is "lying"??
Experts please help

Hi Mission 2012,
The way the original prompt is written, the subject of "to create" could be "lying" or it could be "emotional reactions." This is why the explanation refers to an unclear causal chain of events.
