For the first time in the modern era, non-Hispanic Whites are officially a minority in California, which amounts to a little less than half the population of the state, down from nearly there-quarters only a decade ago.

A.

C.
and that amounts to a little less than half the population of the state, down from a decade ago, when they were nearly three-quarters

D.

E.

答案是D,我选A,我的理解是which amounts to修饰minority, D中的amounting修饰什么呢?是修饰前面整句话么?


请大家指教!~谢谢!~

顶起来,我也选了A。
觉得which可以跳跃修饰minority啊,而且D中省略了only,这样可以吗?
而且accounting去在这里是现在分词做状语用,那么它到底是表示动作伴随还是结果伴随?我觉得两种情况都说不通的。
望牛牛指教

我觉得选D
D中accounting 的逻辑主语是non-Hispanic Whites

A中which 紧跟在California之后,其修饰容易造成歧义
