Hello experts!
Why is "having hundreds of miniature eyes..." modifying "insect eye"? Why doesn't it modify "intricate structure"?

a. subject verb agreement: help is a singular verb we need helps to agree with the singular subject "structure"
b. subject verb agreement: "they" is plural. all of the matching plural antecedents "hundreds" or
"eyes" do not make sense to use
c. same as b
d. same as a
e. structure is matched correctly with helps, and structure is the only logical antecedent for it.
