IMO E. -- It is the egg that when accidentally kicked will roll over.

I think in choice A it tries to state that
it is the Auk that when accidentaly kicked will roll over.

According to Ch. A:
The auk, which ..... and so if accidentally ....
==> the auk is kicked. Hence incorrect

Ch. E:
The egg of the auk - a bird .... - is extremely pointed .... is correct

==> the egg is extremely pointed and so if accidentally kicked ...

HTH

IMO E

here egg of the Auk is the subject and that "it " refers to the egg & the Auk(bird)..
SO E does the job

Hey Pandeyvineet !
I found this SC very very funny! =)

So, to start with, you should always look around what is being modified!
In this case, it's meant to be oak's egg!
Just image someone kicks the auk and it will roll over the circle rather than stretch over the edge :)))
Definitely, smth is wrong here, WWF would definitely find this one suspicious!
Of coarse we need to modify an Auk's egg (still suspicious though :) ).
D is out, because "egg" is singular.
Finally, E is our choice, egg-...-is
Hope it helped :)
