Option A - Incorrect
This option uses present tense verbs 'resembling' and 'looking' which do not logically explain the scientific fact stated in the sentence.

Option B - Correct
This answer choice best explains the intended meaning using all the correct phrases and subject-verb agreement logically.

Option C - Incorrect
'It' in this option function as a pronoun; however, it is supposed to have a previous noun to take its place but it doesn't. Therefore, this answer choice is wrong.

Option D - Incorrect
The prepositional phrase that begins the sentence doesn't describe anything, and prepositional phrases are supposed to describe something in a sentence.

Option E - Incorrect
It doesn't logically explain the intended meaning of the sentence. Also, the use of 'because' to start a sentence is wrong.
