Option-B states that the name
"Muqin Shuijao" implies 2 things:
1) "Muqin Shuijao"
name means “water cellar for mothers” in English. -
CorrectThe 1st which correctly implies that the meaning of name "Muqin Shuijao" is “water cellar for mothers” in English.
To maintain the parallelism intact, the 2nd which should also point to the name "Muqin Shuijao"
Now, this creates a meaning error:
2) "Muqin Shuijao"
name was discovered by the scientists from the Chinese Academy of Science (CAS) on September 11, 2007. -
IncorrectThe 2nd which implies that the name "Muqin Shuijao" was discovered by the scientists from the Chinese Academy of Science(CAS) on September 11, 2007 rather than the discovery of the minor planet number 207715.
