The use of lie detectors is based on the assumption that lying produces emotional reactions in an individual that, in turn, create unconscious physiological response.

A) that, in turn, create unconscious physiological responses.
B) that creates unconscious physiological responses in turn.
C) creating, in turn, unconscious physiological responses.
D) to create, in turn, physiological responses that are unconscious.
E) who creates unconscious physiological responses in turn.


The skeleton of the sentence:

Lying produces reactions in an individual [THAT/WHO] create/creates unconscious physiological responses.

We can deal with this in two ways:

1. What creates "unconscious physiological responses"? Is it the reaction or the individual?
Individual cannot create unconscious responses because he is not in himself. It is the reactions that create unconscious responses.

2. XX + Preposition + YY + Relative pronoun (THAT/WHO)

In this case, THAT/WHO refers to XX. See another example from OG Diagnostic TEST.

By developing the Secure Digital Music Initiative, the recording industry associations of North America, Japan, and Europe hope to create a standardized way of distributing songs and full-length recordings on the Internet that will protect copyright holders and foil the many audio pirates who copy and distribute digital music illegally

Here, A standardized way of YY THAT. That refers to the standardized way.

Conclusion: THAT refers to "reactions", which is plural.

Now, attack the sentence.

B and E can be eliminated for using "creates". Who is used to refer to persons. Using who, E has made a mistake.

Reactions that + Creating/to create is awkward and nonsensical.

Answer is A.
