OG——SC79

79. Defense attorneys have occasionally argued that their clients’ misconduct stemmed from a reaction to something ingested, but in attributing criminal or delinquent behavior to some food allergy, the perpetrators are in effect told that they are not responsible for their actions.
(A) in attributing criminal or delinquent behavior to some food allergy,
(B) if criminal or delinquent behavior is attributed to an allergy to some food,
(C) in attributing behavior that is criminal or delinquent to an allergy to some food,
(D) if some food allergy is attributed as the cause of criminal or delinquent behavior,
(E) in attributing a food allergy as the cause of criminal or delinquent behavior,
麻烦大家帮我解释一下这个句子的意思，还有分析一下选项。谢谢了~~

我今天也又看了一边这个题
有几点：
1attribute to固定表达
2attribute to的意思是“归因于。。。”，因此要有逻辑关系的话，应该是“某个行为是归因于。。。”
所以应该是修饰behavior的，紧跟在behavior后面更清晰 B

我SC也很烂，不知这样解释对不对 - -  呵呵

关于attribute的习语sth be attributed to, attribute sth to sth，in attributing criminal or delinquent behavior to some food allergy是介词词组，修饰句子2中的主语perpetrators, 与原文的意思不符合。D选项就完全靠习语来排除了

能不能顺便解释一下这句话的意思~~谢谢了~~
