Originally developed for detecting air pollutants, a
technique called proton-induced X-ray emission, which
can quickly analyze the chemical elements in almost
any substance without destroying it, is finding uses in
medicine, archaeology, and criminology.
(A) Originally developed for detecting air pollutants,
a technique called proton-induced X-ray
emission, which can quickly analyze the
chemical elements in almost any substance
without destroying it,
(B) Originally developed for detecting air pollutants,
having the ability to analyze the chemical
elements in almost any substance without
destroying it, a technique called proton-induced
X-ray emission
(C) A technique originally developed for detecting
air pollutants, called proton-induced X-ray
emission, which can quickly analyze the
chemical elements in almost any substance
without destroying it,
(D) A technique originally developed for detecting
air pollutants, called proton-induced X-ray
emission, which has the ability to analyze the
chemical elements in almost any substance
quickly and without destroying it,
(E) A technique that was originally developed for
detecting air pollutants and has the ability to
analyze the chemical elements in almost any
substance quickly and without destroying the
substance, called proton-induced X-ray emission,


OA is A.
I ain't asking why the answer is A.
In the answer explanations, the reason provided for C to be wrong says,
"Called proton-induced X-ray emission should
be placed next to a technique and should
not be set off by commas; relative clause
introduced by which incorrectly and
illogically modifies emission."

Although the sentence "called proton-induced X-ray emission, which can quickly analyze" being same in both the options, C's construction is wrong and A's construction is right. well, how's that? Could you please help me solve this discrepancy?
