<p>In a later story, however, the cane’s overpowering scent “drenches” the worker( who cut) the cane stalks, forcing them to inhale its syrupy thickness with every breath.</p>

<p>the question asks which alternative would NOT be acceptable. One of the correct answer is (cutting),but I don’t understand how it is correct here. Is (who are cutting) the better version?
Thanks:)</p>
