Another vote for C.
A)"called the taste pore" modifies opening, should be closer to opening.
B)"have" should be "has"
C)I do not see anything wrong with it.
D)awkward structure
E)same reason as B)

Ah, I see!
So in A: each of them has fingerlike projections poking through the opening located at the top of the taste bud called the taste pore
"taste pore" is about "the opening". Thanks!

OA is C

WOW.

I am amazed.... I can never accept C as the OA.

Can someone explain me how can C be right.

Here is the structure of C


First IC
subject Taste buds
Verb are
predicate onion-shaped structures with between 50 and 100 taste cells
comma ,

another IC

subject each of them
verb has
predicate fingerlike projections poking through the opening located at the top of the taste bud called the taste pore.


SO we have 2 IC's joined with Comma in C.

Can someone shed any light...
