What is the source of this SC?

I don't see any good explanation to get rid of A.
A and E are correct !

Regard,

One explanation i can think of is that there should be comma before not normally found in the ..
Otherwise it changes the meaning that bone is not normally found..

This way we have 2 choiced left C and E.

I am confused between C and E.

Any expert replies?

E is correct only when 'as' is followed by 'Such' in the sentence.

'Because' is used for cause-effect relation. While 'in that' is limited to words just preceded by it. In this sentence I would prefer E, if the sentence has 'such as' instead of just 'as'.

C can't be right in that 'like' is not desired. (Another example of 'in that') :)
