Though viewed from a distance, Saturn's main rings may appear to be smooth and continuous, they are in fact composed of thousands of separate icy ringlets when viewed up close.

a) Though viewed from a distance, Saturn's main rings may appear to be smooth and continuous, they are in fact composed of thousands of separate icy ringlets when viewed up close.

b) Though Saturn's main rings may appear smooth and continuous when viewed from a distance, they are in fact composed of thousands of separate icy ringlets when viewed up close.

c) Saturn's main rings, when viewed from a distance, may appear to be smooth and continuous, though when viewed up close they are in fact composed of thousands of separate icy ringlets.

d) When viewed from a distance, Saturn's main rings may appear smooth and continuous, but closer viewing reveals them to be composed of thousands of separate icy ringlets.

e) Though composed of thousands of separate icy ringlets if viewed up close, the main rings of Saturn may appear smooth and continuous when they are viewed from a distance.

Is the use of 'When viewed from a distance' incorrect in B?
In A, B, and C, when viewed up close is misplaced and does not convey the intended meaning.
They are in fact composed of thousands of separate icy ringlets WHEN VIEWED UP CLOSE.
The nature of the rings does not depend on WHEN they are viewed: they are composed of icy ringlets ALWAYS, not only WHEN VIEWED UP CLOSE.
Eliminate A, B and C.

In E, if viewed up close presents a similar issue. The rings are composed of icy ringlets ALWAYS, not only IF VIEWED UP CLOSE. Eliminate E.

The correct answer is D.
