Sentence Correction

The use of lie detectors is based on the assumption that lying produces emotional reactions in an individual that, in turn, create unconscious physiological responses.

(A) that, in turn, create unconscious physiological responses
(B) that creates unconscious physiological responses in turn
(C) creating, in turn, unconscious physiological responses
(D) to create, in turn, physiological responses that are unconscious
(E) who creates unconscious physiological responses in turn


OA: A

imo -- A

B, C and D are awkard and wordy.
E -- "Who" cannot refer "individual responses"

Thanks

'that' correctly modifies emotional reactions. There is a cause and effect in the sentence.
Emotional reactions cause physiological responses. Therefore A correctly shows this cause effect relationship.

(A) that, in turn, create unconscious physiological responses [Nothing wrong with this option!Correct!]

(B) that creates unconscious physiological responses in turn [subject verb agreement error. creates- singular. emotional reactions- plural. Eliminated!]

(C) creating, in turn, unconscious physiological responses [creating modifies individual. The individual is not creating physiological responses. Eliminated!]

(D) to create, in turn, physiological responses that are unconscious [OMG!!from when did physiological responses become unconscious? are responses conscious also? Eliminated!]

(E) who creates unconscious physiological responses in turn [SV agreement error. Eliminated!]

Hope this helps!
