(D) each side is intent on creating difficulties for one another

BC決戰 可不可能是(1) AND 前後主詞單數單數 (2) C 單數敘述比較簡單直接有關 ?

CD上有一段這樣的解釋:
"both...others應該更好。both...each other表明不僅給對方，也給自己造成難題。"

我想了很久，為什麼這樣的表達方式會也給自已造成難題。

如果改成這樣:"they" are intent on creating difficulties for each other ，還會有那樣的問題嗎?(也給自已造成難題)是否問題出在"both"?

OG237. It seems likely that a number of astronomical phenomena, such as the formation of planetary nebulas, may be caused by the interaction where two stars orbit each other at close range.

Key:(E)are caused by the interaction of two stars orbiting each other

這裡的"each other" 應該是不會自已繞著自已轉吧??

我想差異在於 (B) 雙方互相製造難題, (C) 給對方製造難題; each other 有語病.
爭論的雙方應該不會預期別人給自己製造困難,而是想盡辦法給對方難堪(i.e.箭頭一定指著別人). 所以選 (C)
