This sentence wrongly implies that the Roman kings sported ethnic delicacies etc., because the subject pronoun “who” of the relative clause “who held parties and sported..” refers to the antecedent “Roman kings”.

What is wrong with "who" referring to the kings? Shouldn't the actual reason this option must is not correct is that "who" refers to "flamboyant sybarites" but it should not because this is only used as an adjective/modifier giving more info about the kings?

Hey @kop18;
"who" is acting as a subject for "held parties in their courts" and "sported....". Since "who" refers back to Roman kings. It implies that Roman kings sported ethnic delicacies.....
Clearly, this has meaning error.
It was the parties that sported the ethnic delicacies.... That's the reason why (D) is incorrect.

Hope this helps.
