SC -via computer VS on paper

by zoe » Mon Jul 25, 2016 9:15 pm
Dear friends,
I can understand OA is A, but anyone here can help me to clarify "in which" in A,
here "which" stand for "interchange", or stand for "management, transfer, interchange" ?


80. Companies are relying more and more on networked computers for such critical tasks as inventory management, electronic funds transfer, and electronic data interchange, in which standard business transactions are handled via computer rather than on paper.

(A) in which standard business transactions are handled via computer rather than on paper

(B) where computers handle standard business transactions rather than on paper

(C) in which computers handle standard business transactions instead of on paper

(D) where standard business transactions are handled, not with paper, but instead via computer

(E) in which standard business transactions are being handled via computer, in place of on paper

thanks in advance
have a nice day

Companies are relying more and more on networked computers for such critical tasks as ... , in which standard business transactions are handled via computer rather than on paper.

Thus, "in which" is modifying the critical tasks.

If there were no comma after the electronic data exchange, then "in which" would have modified it.
