Options-A, B, C have "they" as hanging -it is not clear to whom it is pointing, hence out.
D, E remains
In D- "that you would have found interesting.." seems to be modifying "imaging" in previous phrase- hence D is out
In E- program is used in clear terms conveying correct meaning, hence E

In Option D- If comma is not used before "that", would the statement be correct then?
Is this statement without comma correct: there was an informative program about new innovations in medical imaging that you would have found interesting.
I thought this statement is wrong because "that" is modifying "imaging", instead of modifying "program". So in the above statement, without comma, does "that" modify "program".
Please help me understand as I seem to be missing basic grammar rules. :(

On Discovery channel last night they showed an informative program about new innovations in medical imaging, which you would have found interesting

A. they showed an informative program about new innovations in medical imaging, which you would have found interesting.
B. they showed an informative program about innovations in medical imaging, which you would have found interesting.
C. they showed an informative program about innovations in medical imaging, that you would have found interesting.
D. there was an informative program about new innovations in medical imaging, that you would have found interesting.
E. there was an informative program about innovations in medical imaging, a program you would have found interesting.

Please provide reasoning? :roll:

Option A is wrong because here which is referring to medical imaging instead of informative program.
as per the context of the sentence, it is informative program would have found interesting not medical imaging is interesting.
Also there is no referent for pronoun they.
Option B is wrong - same reason as above.
Option C is wrong- no referent for they & also comma should not be used before that unless the before sentence is a modifier.
Option D wrong - comma used before that
Option E - Correct

I guess D is wrong is for more than one reason. 'innovations' is always about 'new' things, so writing 'new innovations' is redundant. Also, I have not seen (but I might be wrong) 'comma'+'that' construction in correct answer choices. From meaning point of view, 'that' can refer to any one of these fields 'medical imaging' or 'new innovations' or 'program', and still give meaningful sentence. So, multiple inferences of the meaning are possible.

In choice E, 'a program you would..' is clearly referring (modifying) 'informative program', so this construction is much clear.
Hope this helps you.
