    India, like Italy and China, has no single dominant cuisine: Indian food comprises many different styles of cooking, with each a product of their regional influences, from the fiery vegetarian dishes of the south to the Portuguese-influenced Goan cooking of the west, to the more familiar Mogul food of the north.

    (A) with each a product of their
    (B) with each as a product of its
    (C) each products of their
    (D) each a product of
    (E) each products of


    Ans: (D)
    Why not (B) ?

    I go for D.

    Its not B because, in B 'its' has no clear referent - does it refer to "Italy and China" or "food". Even then the tense is incorrect.

    B
    modifier phrase "with...." modifies Indian food, and it is illogical to say Indian food with....

    D
    each correctly modifies Indian food.

    Go with D I guess.

    B says "Indian food has style and some x-factor which is the product of regional influences"...modifier

    D is correct...Style itslef is talked about...
