Paleontologists at the Montbrook fossil dig typically find the isolated bones and teeth of prehistoric mammals buried at regular intervals; the location of these fossils is evidence favoring the hypothesis of a prehistoric river fed by a nearby glacier that scattered the mammals’ remains after the decay of their soft tissue.
(A) favoring the hypothesis of a prehistoric river fed by a nearby glacier that - seems good.
(B) that favors the hypothesis of a prehistoric river that was fed by a nearby glacier and that - wordy and redundant structure
(C) favoring the hypothesis that a prehistoric river fed by a nearby glacier - meaning issue.
(D) in favor of the hypothesis that a prehistoric river was fed by a nearby glacier and that - wordy and redundant structure
(E) of favor for the hypothesis of a nearby glacier that fed a prehistoric river and - Breaks the structure of the sentence.
IMO A

(A) favoring the hypothesis of a prehistoric river fed by a nearby glacier that - meaning is not clear, glacier doesn’t scatter the remains, river does
(B) that favors the hypothesis of a prehistoric river that was fed by a nearby glacier and that - lost track of thats…
(C) favoring the hypothesis that a prehistoric river fed by a nearby glacier - this is succinct, “fed by nearby glacier” modifies river & scattered becomes main verb
(D) in favor of the hypothesis that a prehistoric river was fed by a nearby glacier and that - changes meaning to hypothesis being one that scattered the remains
(E) of favor for the hypothesis of a nearby glacier that fed a prehistoric river and - “evidence of favour” is awkward and not idiomatic

Question: Paleontologists at the Montbrook fossil dig typically find the isolated bones and teeth of prehistoric mammals buried at regular intervals; the location of these fossils is evidence favoring the hypothesis of a prehistoric river fed by a nearby glacier that scattered the mammals’ remains after the decay of their soft tissue.
Meaning analysis: So palenotologists(PTS) at MFD typically find the bones and teeth of prehistoric mammal buried at the regular intervals. this location(MFD) is evidence is favouring one hypothesis. this hypothesis is some prehistoric river which was fed by glacier scattered the mamals' remain ....
ok lets see the options
(A) favoring the hypothesis of a prehistoric river fed by a nearby glacier that => this is giving meaning that location is favouring the hypothesis of river and not what river did also glacier scattered the remains so not our ans
(B) that favors the hypothesis of a prehistoric river that was fed by a nearby glacier and that => this is giving meaning that hypothesis of pre-historic river was fed by glacier and scattered the remains which is not correct.
(C) favoring the hypothesis that a prehistoric river fed by a nearby glacier => this is the ans which coneys correct meaning
(D) in favor of the hypothesis that a prehistoric river was fed by a nearby glacier and that => again meaning same as B so not the ans
(E) of favor for the hypothesis of a nearby glacier that fed a prehistoric river and => first of all of favor of is wrong its changing meaning that hypothesis is about the glacier fed river and glacier scattered the remains
hence ans is option C

supposed to explain the "regular interval" that "a prehistoric river scattered the mammals’ remains after the decay of their soft tissue." C is better
