OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
We’ll go for LOGICAL because there is a double meaning we can easily correct.
The sentence has a double meaning, it is unclear whether it was Zeus’ grand feast or the throwing of the apple that led Hera, Aphrodite and Athena to argue. This double meaning is caused by using the phrase which left, which grammatically can refer to both the feast and the throwing of the apple. Answer (C), which uses the word leaving, is the only answer option that leaves no double meaning and makes it clear that Eris throwing the golden apple is what caused the following event.
