Most of the purported health benefits of tea

by liuhao1990 Sat Mar 26, 2011 4:21 am

Hi, help, please:

Most of the purported health benefits of tea comes from antioxidants--compounds also found in
beta carotene, vitamin E, and vitamin C that
inhibit the formation of plaque along the body's blood
vessels.

(A) comes from antioxidants--compounds also found in beta carotene, vitamin E, and vitamin C that
(B) comes from antioxidants--compounds that are also found in beta carotene, vitamin E, and
vitamin C, and they
(C) come from antioxidants--compounds also found in beta carotene, vitamin E, and vitamin C, and
(D) come from antioxidants--compounds that are also found in beta carotene, vitamin E, and
vitamin C and that
(E) come from antioxidants--compounds also found in beta carotene, vitamin E, and vitamin C, and
they

The OA is D, I know the parallelism of "that...and that...", but I do not know why (C) is incorrect. If this sentence can be expressed as "Most of the...benefits...come from...and inhibit...", it is still a parallel structure, isn't it?
