The English physician Edward Jenner found that if
experimental subjects were deliberately infected with
cowpox, which caused only a mild illness, they are
immune from smallpox.
(A) which caused only a mild illness, they are
immune from
B) causing only a mild illness, they become immune
from
(C) which causes only a mild illness, they are
immune to
(D) causing only a mild illness, they became immune
from
(E) which caused only a mild illness, they would
become immune to

I have understood that 'E' is the correct answer.
However, I am not sure of the below comment in OG-
Th participle causing suggests that infecting
the subjects with cowpox caused a mild
illness only in some of the cases

Can you please elaborate on the above remark?

Hi pushpitkc,

Thanks for the response.
I actually went through that thread but my query wasn't answered.
I understand it will be better to post it on the same thread. Did that.
New here..thanks for the help!
