i was choosing between A and E, and I chose E in the end because they just mention neutrinos like a word before fortunately so i thought there was no need for repetition.

i guess im wrong on this one.

B,C eliminated due to wrong usage of which.....

D,E out bcoz reesumptive modifier is necessary here...

A is correct bcoz it uses the reesumptive modifier neutrinos

Hi All,
i will also go with A because it is using correct parallelism form 'that.....that..'
b and C are incorrect because of wrong usage of 'which'.

Thanks,

Sunny

I want to nail the difference once for all!
