Question for all: thank you VM

11. The key discovery in the scientific effort to understand fire was made in 1774 when Lavoisier recognized that [u]the apparent disappearance of matter in flames is an illusion.[/u]
 
(a) the apparent disappearance of matter in flames is an illusion.
(b) the matter that apparently disappears in flames is an illusion.
(c) the disappearance of matter in flames is apparently an illusion.
(d) it was an illusion that there is an apparent disappearance of matter in flames
(e) it was an illusion that matter apparently disappears in flames

I chose C but the answer is A

Can anyone let me know what they think?
