树木生长的速度被认为是地球上太阳黑子周期最可靠的迹象之一
(A) among倒装，主语应该是the rate，所以应该用单数is。
(B) among倒装，主语应该是the rate，所以应该用单数is；tree应该用复数，使未划线部分的their有 一致的指代对象。
(C) on earth 放置句首修饰整个句子，不符合逻辑；their 的指代存在歧义，离它最近的是 sunspot cycles，未划线部分的 as seen 应该要紧跟其修饰的名词。
(D) tree应该用复数，使未划线部分的their有一致的指代对象；谓语结构不完整，应该用is believed被动语态。
(E) 正确，on Earth修饰indications，主语是the rate，谓语动词用单数is。
on earth是一方面，但不是硬伤。硬伤来自于后面 as seen的修饰对象。as seen说的是“正如（我们在）树桩上的年轮所看到的那样”。从语义上，应该修饰树的成长，把句子还原就是，trees grow at the rate as seen in the rings visible in the cross sections of their trunks. 树木增长的速度，从树桩上年轮的圈上可见一斑。
C选项，使得as seen的修饰对象变成了sunspot cycles，语义完全错误了。
as seen做伴随状语逻辑主语在C和E中都是trees吧 从这点上来说C不存在问题
