The physical structure of the human eye enables it to sense light of wavelengths up to 0.0005 millimeters: infrared radiation, however, is invisible because its wavelength-0.1 millimeters--is too long to be registered by the eye.
(A) infrared radiation, however, is invisible because its wavelengths0.1 millimeters-is too long to be registered by the eye
(B) however, the wavelength of infrared radiation-0.1 millimeters-is too long to be registered by the eye making it invisible
(C) infrared radiation however is invisible because its wavelength-0.1 millimeters-is too long for the eye to register it
(D) however because the wavelength of infrared radiation is 0.1 millimeters it is too long for the eye to register and thus invisible
(E) however infrared radiation has a wavelength of 0.1 millimeters that is too long for the eye to register, thus making it invisible

[spoiler]Please explain why not C instead of OA (A)

Hi rishi, please make sure you post correct question. I spent almost 5 minutes thinking how choice A is correct. And then I picked up my OG and realized that you basically missed a "semicolon" before infrared radiation. Please correct the question in your post.

I think in Choice C, "it" is incorrect. But I am not too certain about it.

Definitely need help with this one...

Hi,
I think the usage of 'it' is problematic in C. Does 'it' refer to infrared radiation or wavelength?
Cheers!

Things are not what they appear to be... nor are they otherwise

Yes I agree that "it" is problematic.

Thanks :)
