17. For members of the seventeenth-century Ashanti nation in Africa, animal-hide shields with wooden frames were essential items of military equipment, *a method to protect* warriors against enemy arrows and spears.
(A) a method to protect
(B) as a method protecting
(C) protecting
(D) as a protection of
(E) to protect

I know the answer should be C.

Here in the sentence,
“Animal-hide shields with wooden frames were essential items of military equipment,protecting warriors against enemy arrows and spears.”

“protecting warriors against enemy arrows and spears”
is
“animal-hide shields with wooden frames were essential items of military equipment”
的状语。

But how to make sentence changes so that  
“protecting warriors against enemy arrows and spears”
is
“animal-hide shields with wooden frames”or“animal-hide shields”
的定语.

Can any NN help give the correct sentence?

Thanks in Advance.

But where to put the "with wooden frame "

The question is

How to  arrange the "定语"s when there're two or more "定语"s, and still kepp clear the meaning of the sentence.

Why not E? 不定式和分词的区别.

有疑问，关于这个XDF老师说这种 svo,doing  (doing修饰o）一定错。那为啥这道题还要选c呢？那个不就是protecting 修饰equipments了吗？
