Most of the purported health benefits of tea comes from antioxidants-compounds also found in beta carotene, vitamin E, and vitamin C that inhibit the formation of plaque along the body's blood vessels.

A. comes from antioxidants-compounds also found in beta carotene, vitamin E, and vitamin C that
B. comes from antioxidants-compounds that are also found in beta carotene, vitamin E, and vitamin C, and they
C. come from antioxidants-compounds also found in beta carotene, vitamin E, and vitamin C, and
D. come from antioxidants-compounds that are also found in beta carotene, vitamin E, and vitamin C and that
E. come from antioxidants-compounds also found in beta carotene, vitamin E, and vitamin C, and they
most + COUNTABLE NOUN = PLURAL.
most + NONCOUNTABLE NOUN = SINGULAR.
In A and B, comes (singular) does not agree with most of the health benefits (most + COUNTABLE NOUN).
Eliminate A and B.

A conjunction such as and must serve to connect PARALLEL FORMS.
C: compounds also FOUND in beta carotene...and INHIBIT the formation of plaque
E: compounds also FOUND in beta carotene...and they INHIBIT the formation of plaque
In these answer choices, found serves as a ADJECTIVE describing compounds.
What KIND of compounds?
Compounds FOUND in beta carotene.
In contrast, inhibit serves not as a modifier but as a VERB.
What ACTION is performed by compounds?
They INHIBIT the formation of plaque.
A conjunction such as and cannot serve to connect a MODIFIER (found) to a VERB (inhibit).
Eliminate C and E.

The correct answer is D.

Uva-

The easiest description of 'that' vs 'they' in this scenario is that 'they' creates an independent clause and what comes after it is not a complete thought.
