Hello, Castro!
Let?s try it!
I think the correct answer is C-reported
As for your second question, I haven?t got a clue but, from my point of view, I think the second comma is not necessary. Actually, I think it?s wrong. Therefore, I see the sentence "which... most women..." as a subordinate relative clause.
The teacher will help us, anyway :P

. The result is supported by recent psychological research -- Main clause of sentence
, which reveals that after 20 mins spent reading fashion magazines,most women reported feelings of insecurity about their bodies -- nonrestrictive dependent clause modifying research and requiring the comma preceding it
that after 20 mins spent reading fashion magazines, most women reported feelings of insecurity about their bodies -- dependent restrictive clause acting as the object of reveals
after 20 mins spent reading fashion magazines -- dependent sub-clause as adverbial of the following:
most women reported feelings of insecurity about their bodies -- independent subclause of that-clause.
Is that clear? . _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |
