题目分析:
略。

选项分析:

A选项:tree growth不能suck sap from tree,因此sucking的逻辑主语错误。

B选项:sucking逻辑主语错误同(A);their dropping与to change不平行;代词their没有指代对象

C选项:定语从句which causes needles to change color from deep green to grayish green就近修饰名词tree growth,这在逻辑上是不正确的。引起改变颜色的应该是the woolly adelgid;dropping和to change不平行。

D选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。causing needles to change color from deep green to grayish green是伴随状语

E选项:to change from deep green to grayish green和their dropping不平行;代词their无指代对象
