Almost like clones in their similarity to one another, the cheetah species' homogeneity makes them especially vulnerable to disease.

(A) the cheetah species' homogeneity makes them especially vulnerable to disease
(B) the cheetah species is especially vulnerable to disease because of its homogeneity
(C) the homogeneity of the cheetah species makes it especially vulnerable to disease
(D) homogeneity makes members of the cheetah species especially vulnerable to disease
(E) members of the cheetah species are especially vulnerable to disease because of their homogeneity

I find the solution to be E as it compares Members with Clones, and I also think C to be correct.Please provide solution with necessary explanation.


Thanks in advance.

Option C -
Almost like clones in their similarity to one another, the homogeneity of the cheetah species...

This illogically suggests that the homogeneity of the cheetah species is almost like clones in their similarity. Therefore C is wrong.
