Unlike the original National Museum of Science and Technology in Italy, where the models are encased in glass or operated only by staff members, the Virtual Leonardo Project, an online version of the museum, encourages visitors to “touch” each exhibit, which thereby activates the animated functions of the piece.
(A) exhibit, which thereby activates (B) exhibit, in turn an activation of (C) exhibit, and it will activate (D) exhibit and thereby activate (E) exhibit which, as a result, activates
If option A had "activate" instead of "activates" then that option will be right or it has some other error?

Hi, In this question, the "touch" (of the exhibit) actually activates the animated functions of the piece. In option (A) "exhibit, which thereby activates", which refers to exhibit and not the "touch". That is why, it is wrong.

Hi,
The problem is not about activate and activates here, the problem is about MODIFIERS.. What activates the animated portion, it is surely not exhibit itself. It is the process of touching it and therefore "which" is wrongly used here. D parallels two verbs touch and thereby activate , so is correct..
Otherwise the sentence could have just removed which and used activating instead of activate

True about the misplaced modifier. The main issue in the arugment is misplaced modifier. But in option D,shouldn't it be "activates"? or its activate because of visitors?

firstly i will say no at no cost A will be right because of the which must touch the noun how i got this question right is by the POE of following options B) in turn activation of is awkward c)it in option C has no antecedent ,as you cannot replace an action with it d)makes the parallel : to touch each exhibit and thereby activate e)makes same mistake of touch rule which
