Sentence Correction

This one baffled me. Any explanations?

OA is [spoiler](E)[/spoiler]

Take the cows make them parallel according to their modifier....

Provided with X, and milked regularly, the cows.... Discard A,B, and C

(Milking, Providing will not modify the cows)

Between D and E, select E as beginning says farmer take care of THEM .

hi shovans
can you elaborate a little bit more why A is wrong
i absolutely agree that (Milking, Providing will not modify the cows) . but this modifier does not relates to the cows at all. according to the MS correction -comma + ing- modify the whole clause , i read the sentence this way:
farmer who takes care....,providing.....and milking
for me it is easier to elinimate A on the basis of present progressive usage- are producing since it is not action that takes just now, rather general definition

Is there any other option you can think of? I saw these two flaws so got E. I do not think its a correct construction but E seems best to me.
comma + ing- modify the whole clause. the cluase is after these two modifiers. Clause is "Cows will produce X".
After fixing these two modifiers then relate the farmer phrase as a whole modifier to the cows .

I know its a very awkward constuction. In general here,

For the farmers who....(A), cows' modifiers (B), cows will produce X.

First part B modifies the cows then A modifies the modified cows.

sorry friend, don`t understand your last post, as i see the sentence
E with out 1 st clause is a perfect sentence
provided with high energy feed ,and milked regularly, Holstein cows will produce
and for some unknown reasons modifier provided... and milked... relates to the cows but not to the 1 st clause:
For the farmer who takes care to keep them cool
my only question how to know that provided with high energy feed ,and milked regularly or providing them with high energy feed and milking them regularly refers to the second clause?

This may help...

I think the " For the farmer who takes care to keep them cool, providing them with high energy feed and milking them regularly," part of the sentence just denotes a Event (with various actions involved in it) which will eventually lead to Some action. On this account E option is the best as it has "will "
