答案:B
分析:考的是同位语结构,a phenomenon是 the decentralization of cities throughout the United States 的同位语。A中and为conj.,后面应该连接一个完整的句子,但缺主语,错;C中语序混乱,错; D中of which作为介词宾语,后面应该接一个完整句,但只有一个phenomenon主语,句子不完整,错。

分析:句子的主语是grapes , 后面是平行结构grow…, range…, and contain…。空格后的句子已完整,那么空格处就应该是同位语,状语从句,分词等修饰成分。A中Their指代不明,而且classification和berries也不相符,错;B中Although为conj.,后面应该是完整句,错;C中Because为conj.,后面应该是完整句,错。
