GWD3-Q39一道伴随v-ing的问题~

Minivans carry as many as seven passengers and, compared with most sport utility vehicles, cost less, get better gas mileage, allow passengers to get in and out more easily, and have a smoother ride.

A.Minivans carry as many as seven passengers and, compared with most sport utility vehicles, cost less,
B.Minivans, which carry as many as seven passengers, compared with most sport utility vehicles, they cost less,
C.Minivans carry as many as seven passengers, in comparison with most sport utility vehicles, and have a lower cost, they
D.Minivans, carrying as many as seven passengers, compared with most sport utility vehicles, cost less,
E.Minivans, which carry as many as seven passengers, compared with most sport utility vehicles the cost is lower, and they

谷哥了还有疑惑，我做题的时候选的D，排除A的原因是第一个and在结构上不太平行⋯⋯
但是大家都说正确答案是A！A除了第一个and不太平行别的也没神马错
我现在的问题是，D的carrying as many as seven passengers作何解？这样用法有木有问题？可以修饰Minivans吗？还是说是作"cost..get..allow...and have..."的伴随啊什么的

望NN解答！

A中是carry和后面cost,gets,allow一大串动词平行啦，而后面的四个动词又自己构成平行，也就是A and, a,b,c and d的平行结构，是正确的，相信LZ也遇见过A and B, and C这样的平行吧，同理同理~
D中carrying可以修饰Minivans，但是原句中carry..的内容本来也是作为M的一个优点去表达的，而carrying的描述则成了M的一个属性，而且在主语Minivans上连续加入carrying和compared两个modifier是awkward的

原句中carry..的内容本来也是作为M的一个优点去表达的，而carrying的描述则成了M的一个属性--------这个很在理耶！

在主语Minivans上连续加入carrying和compared两个modifier是awkward的 ----------不知道这个可不可以作为快速排除选项的手段

在主语前加入两个分词modifier是awkward的这句话忘记是在哪里看到的了，不过我用到现在还没出过什么问题，顺便求证一下
