大全734干扰项C请教

734.     The domesticated camel, which some scholars date around the twelfth century B.C., was the key to the development of the spice trade in the ancient world.

(A) The domesticated camel, which some scholars date

(B) The domesticated camel, which some scholars having thought to occur

(C) Domesticating the camel, dated by some scholars at

(D) The domestication of the camel, thought by some scholars to have occurred

(E) The camel’s domestication, dated by some scholars to have been

 

为什么答案不能是C？讨论区中有一点涉及到，但是没有说明白

诚然，D中的the A of B is the key to the C of D这个结构更加对称

但是，date表示的是年代断定，和D的thought to occur意思明显是不一样的，讨论区中说date camel逻辑上不对，但是C中表达的是date domesticating camel这个举动发生的时间。

请大家指教

我不知道这个回答你可不可接受但是外国人就是这样想，以下转贴
We say the domestication of (an animal) to show that at a point in historical

time the animal was used by civilizations for food, work, or travel.
Example; The domestication of the horse 3000 years ago allowed ancient

civilizations to travel over greater distances in shorter periods of time.

 虽然用惯用法这个理由不一定使人信服，但是对于这个字domestication就是这样用
用OG的说法大概就是如果有名词就用名词，不必用动名词

 Domestication是这个动词的名词形式，有名词形式时是不用动名词的。LS正解

，另外我看这道题时的第一感觉就不是C，dated by看着确实很别扭，但具体原因也

讲不大清楚。
