Shipwrecks are more likely to be found undisturbed at great depths than in shallow coastal waters, which exposes archaeological remains to turbulence and makes them accessible to anyone in scuba gear, whether they be archaeologist, treasure hunter, or sport diver.

(A) which指代waters导致逻辑意思错误,因为并不是水域把古迹暴露在外,而是古迹暴露在这个水域,应该用where指代in shallow coastal waters; exposes和makes应该用复数形式which指代的是waters; whether they be表达复杂,they没有指代对象，they be应该去掉.
(B) 正确, more…than符合习惯用法; where使用恰当; 用whether A, B, or C修饰anyone,修饰得当
(C) more…as opposed to语意重复，不应同时出现在比较句中; including使用不恰当,include表示为群体中包含某些项,而这里anyone是个体,不能使用including.若将anyone改为everyone会更好
(D) more…instead of不符合习惯用法;使用which导致逻辑意思错误;including使用不恰当.
(E) more…instead of不符合习惯用法，缺少代词in容易产生歧义;it没有指代
first of all, you can use the correct idiom 'more likely to be found ... than ...' to eliminate choices c, d, e right away. you can't write 'more likely ... as opposed to ...' or 'more likely ... instead of ...'; both of those are unidiomatic, and therefore incorrect, 100% of the time.
look no further than the 'which' in choice a, which is followed by the verb 'exposes'. that verb is singular, indicating that 'which' must refer to something singular - and there are no singular nouns in that part of the sentence at all.
whether A,B or C 表选择 可以排掉including whether they be
more than 连用；which和where 的区别。
ADE: which/it 指代shallow coastal waters，单复数不一致。另外语意上waters不能主动发出expose这个动作
错的太不应该了.... more.....than 不能总是想太多！
the bad usage of 'including' with the list of singular nouns in choice c,
the bad parallelism in choice d，
the lack of referent for 'it' in choice e，
look no further than the 'which' in choice a, which is followed by the verb 'exposes'. that verb is singular, indicating that 'which' must refer to something singular - and there are no singular nouns in that part of the sentence at all.
总结 RON 的回答
最明显的是more likely to be found ... than ...是对的，more likely ... as opposed to ...' or 'more likely ... instead of ...';是错的。其他还有值得积累：
1）shallow coastal waters没法主动发出 expose 残骸的动作，所以选项中，it或者which 去 expose 就没有指代的主体。这里不是主动被动的意思，要理解成 it 和 which 没有指代。
2）including...用的 anyone,including 后面的人要都复数，如果单数，如 D 选项的话，那表示这个人既是考古学家，又是挖宝藏的，又是潜水爱好者。显然句义不是这个意思，想表达句义的意思，要有 whether。
3）B 里面whether 这么用没有错。
4）最后还有一个 likely 的用法，这题里面没错，但是积累。
