原题：
On account of a law passed in 1993, making it a crime punishable by imprisonment that a United States citizen hold gold in the form
of bullion or coins, immigrants found that on arrival in the United States they had to surrender all of the gold they had brought with them.

A. On account of a law passed in 1993, making it a crime punishable by imprisonment that a United States citizen hold
B. With a law passed in 1933 that makes it a crime punishable by imprisonment that a United States citizen hold
C. A law passed in 1933 that made it a crime punishable by imprisonment for a United States citizen holding
D. Because of a law passed in 1933 making it a crime punishable by imprisonment for a United States citizen to hold
E. Due to a law being passed in 1933 that makes it a crime punishable by imprisonment for a United States citizen to hold
答案为D
CE能比较方便的排除，但是剩下来的ABD三个选项不太清楚如何区分，是依据句子开头的on account of/with/because of，
还是因为使用定语从句that makes/分词形式making修饰law，或者是因为用从句/不定式短语表示形式宾语it？
请各位NN不吝赐教，多谢啦～

刚发现D选项是用分词和不定式形式来避免使用从句。。。这么说选D的关键就是简洁的原则吗？
还有，句首使用的三个词是不是都可以互相替换的呢？
还请大家多多帮忙^_^

a--划线部分that错误，n.+that ，that后部分修饰名字，v+that，that应道从句指代所发出动作；因此a中that错误的修饰imprisonment

b--that定语从句，修饰对象错误，that，which在定语从句中修饰离它最近的名字

个人认为本体考点在于从句的修饰关系，United States citizen hold gold in the form
of bullion or coins 其实是修饰crime，是指crime的内容。

个人愚见，欢迎讨论。

谢谢回复
那就是说AB错在将本是做宾语的that从句放在一个名词(impresonment)之后，造成that从

句成为一个修饰该名词(impresonment)的定语从句吗？
但是我百度出来两个介绍it做形式宾语的句子，其中的实际宾语均为从句：
Keep it in mind that you have to be back home before ten.
We owe it to you that there wasn’t a serious accident.
这里的两个that从句就明显不是修饰其前面的名词(mind和you)的，这样看来AB也是正确的

啊
越来越糊涂了大家帮帮忙啊。。。

 a&b--- a citizen hold--->a citizen holds

because it is a law, so i think holds would be better

个人认为这里不用从句不仅仅是简洁原则；从逻辑意思考虑a u.s citizen holds不是已经发生了的，也不是一种客观状态；而是一种条件，只有D避免了这种逻辑上的歧义；

非常有道理！
谢谢，对题目的理解越来越清晰了
