The health benefits of tea have been the subject of much research; in addition to its possibilities for preventing and inhibiting some forms of cancer, the brewed leaves of Camellia sinensis may also play a role in reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke.
A. in addition to its possibilities for preventing and inhibiting
B. in addition to its possibilities to prevent or inhibit
C. besides the possibility that it prevents and inhibits
D. besides the possible preventing and inhibiting of
E. besides possibly preventing or inhibiting.

OA is E
Please give your explanations why E is best. I need to understand how "its" in a . b and c is referring to leaves.. I thought "it" refers to "Tea' mentioned in the first clause

A. in addition to its possibilities for preventing and inhibiting (unidiomatic; correct uses are "possibility that" or "possibility of")
B. in addition to its possibilities to prevent or inhibit (unidiomatic; see A)
C. besides the possibility that it prevents and inhibits
D. besides the possible preventing and inhibiting of (we can't use the adjective "possible" to modify verbs)
E. besides possibly preventing or inhibiting.

"Tea" is located in a prepositional phrase in the first clause, so it would not make sense for "it" to refer to "tea."
