225. Minnesota is the only one of the contiguous forty-eight states that still has a sizable wolf population, and where this predator remains the archenemy of cattle and sheep.

(A) that still has a sizable wolf population, and where

(B) that still has a sizable wolf population, where

(C) that still has a sizable population of wolves, and where

(D) where the population of wolves is still sizable; (E) where there is still a sizable population of wolves and where

Choice D is grammatically constructed, but it lacks a conjunction that establishes a logical relation between the clauses; since Minnesota as a grammatical subject is separated from the clause following the semicolon, the statement there need not even pertain to Minnesota. 这段解释是什么意思阿

which one is the best answer? A? right?
1. according to this predator, we can eliminate answer C D E for the term "wolves" can not represent this predator.
2. for B, we don't know which part "where" clause act as.　There is a comma before where, therefore, "where" here should act as an unlimited clause, but it can't mismodify population.
