Children who watch a great deal of Television and their families have a history of near-sightedness will probably require glasses sooner than their peers who are not predisposed to myopia in these ways

1. and their families have a history of near-sightedness
2. whose families have a history of near-sightedness
3. and a history of near-sightedness runs in the family
4. whose families have a history of near-sightedness running in them
5. with a history of near-sightedness running in the family

I think that "and" is a must out here otherwise wouldnt it be "GMAT"ically incorrect since "whose families" could modify television incorrectly ????

I was thinking between B and E. Anyone minds telling us why it isn't E? Is it because "running in the families" makes it awkward?

Thanks~

i think it is B
it is not E because history and running in the sentence make it redundant
