The World Wildlife Fund has declared that global warming, a phenomenon most scientists agree to be caused by human beings in burning fossil fuels, will create havoc among migratory birds by altering the environment in ways harmful to their habitats.


B) a phenomenon most scientists agree that is caused by fossil fuels burned by human beings,

C) a phenomenon that most scientists agree is caused by human beings' burning of fossil fuels,

D) which most scientists agree on as a phenomenon caused by human beings who burn fossil fuels,

E) which most scientists agree to be a phenomenon caused by fossil fuels burned by human beings.

OA is C.
What is wrong with D & E? Doesn't C sound awkward?

IMO C

a phenomenon that most scientists agree is caused by human beings' burning of fossil fuel.

This is the active voice..caused by humans burning fuels


D) which most scientists agree on as a phenomenon caused by human beings who burn fossil fuels, -- who burn is passive

E) which most scientists agree to be a phenomenon caused by fossil fuels burned by human beings. This is the passive voice, usually wrong on the gmat
