(E) By process of elimination.

A is wrong because a team of researchers(Singular subject"a team" ) carries a plural verb are allocated .
B is wrong because repetition of in after international companies is redudant,So this option is not concise.
C is Wrong because of use of as well as which again makes the sentence not concise.
D is Wrong because of using a plural verb as option A does.
E is correct because it uses a correct verb and much more concise that option B and C.

Correct me if i am wrong.
