A study of food resources in the North Pacific between 1989 and 1996 revealed that creatures of the seabed were suffering from dwindling food supplies, possibly a result from increasing sea surface temperatures during the same period.

A: that creatures of the seabed were suffering from dwindling food supplies, possibly a result from increasing

B: that creatures of the seabed were suffering because food supplies were dwindling, possibly as a result of an increase in

C: that creatures of the seabed were suffering because of food supplies, which were dwindling possibly as a result of increasing

D: creatures of the seabed that were suffering from food supplies that were dwindling, possibly resulting from an increase in

E: creatures of the seabed that were suffering because food supplies were dwindling, which possibly resulted from increasing

Answer is B

This question has been posted before, but in those posts choice (A) is different, second part of the sentence after comma:-

that creatures of the seabed were suffering from dwindling food supplies, possibly resulting from increasing

If choice (A) were written in the following manner:-

That creatures of the seabed were suffering because food supplies were dwindling, possibly a result from increasing.

Would this be correct ?

I have taken first part of the sentence from (B) and second part from (A).

Thanks & Regards
