Because there are provisions of the new maritime code that provide that even tiny islets can be the basis for claims to fisheries and oil fields of large sea areas, they have already stimulated international disputes over uninhabited islands.

a) Because there are provisions of the new maritime code that provide that even tiny islets can be the basis for claims to fisheries and oil fields of large sea areas, they have already stimulated

b) Because the new maritime code provides that even tiny islets can be the basis for claims to the fisheries and oil fields of large sea areas, it has already stimulated

c) Even tiny islets can be the basis for claims to the fisheries and oil fields of large sea areas under provisions of the new maritime code, already stimulating

IMO B

In A they can refer back to a number of things i.e. provisions, islets, etc

In C,D and E the meaning is changed to mean
1.fisheries
and
2. oil fields of large areas under the provisions of the maritime code

rather than the maritime code applying to fisheries and oil fields.

Hope this helps
