<li>The scientific writings of Edward O. Wilson, Stephen Jay Gould, and Richard Dawkins, which (A) has continued (B) the discussion of genetic issues raised by (C) Charles Darwin, are (D) familiar to many high school and college students.</li>
</ol>

<p>Why is it B? Does the comma/which refer to the scientific writings of all three, or that of Richard Dawkins only?</p>

<p>"has continued" should be "have continued" because scientific writings is plural. Even if the "writings" were only referring to Darwin, "writings" would still be plural.</p>

<p>Oh true. Thanks!</p>
