Animals suffered at the hands of Man ________ they were destroyed by people to make way for agricultural land to provide food for more people.

A.in which

B.for which

C.so that

D.in that

答案及解析： D

解析：

考查句子的理解。前半句意为：动物在人类的手下遭受痛苦。而后半句则是说明了animals suffered的具体原因。所以应该选in that相当于for the reason（由于）。而此处并没有恰当的先行词，并非定语从句，所以不能选A、B两项。本题稍难。
