C 'the tomato was viewed with suspicion by northern Europeans, who ' to me is the answer.
"the tomato" was eaten in Mediterranean countries (a case of modifier). Also we are using who for people.
In 'D', tomato is suspicous of people, should be other way round; people should be suspicious of tomato.

Cybera,
Could you post the OA after 2-3 days, it gives everyone a chance to answer the questions.
Thanks,
BTW - The answer should be C, because this SC tests the misplaced modifier rule. Eaten in Mediterranean countries, should be followed by the subject - tomato, and not the northern europeans.
