Not having heard clearly , the speaker was asked to repeat his statement.

A)the speaker was asked to repeat his statement.
B)She asked the speaker to repeat again his statement.
C)the speaker was asked to repeat his statement again.
D)She asked the speaker to repeat his statement.
E)She then asked the speaker again to repeat his statement.

OA is D

I thought the person that wasn't heard clearly is the speaker.Can an Expert do justice here? Thanks

The "speaker" was the well speaker. Someone didnt hear the speaker and in this case that someone is "she"
Problem with A is that is seems as though the speaker didn't hear himself.
"she" is correctly placed next to the modifier, "not having heard clearly" in D
