Thnaks gmat_perfect BUT based on your saying: We can eliminate the "COMMA + To verb" if the verb is not working as verb. in choice E, ''to protect'' we see that ''protect'' is a verb, so we can not eliminate this choice , hence the correct answer should be E based on your above rule!! BUT ...

Nice explanation, BUT STILL I have doubt between C and E.
For eliminating (E), can we say infinitive can NOT come after COMMA. We know that infinitives are verbals so have nature of verbs. With regard to this rule(if I am right), we can easily narrow down to choice (C). Is the logic right??
