IMO - A

B- "new surgical implantation methods " is not correct. new should be close to methods. "surgical implantatation" should not modufy "methods"

C - "surgical introduction" is wrong.
D, E - " new artificial and human organs ". "new" modifying organs is wrong

Basically , the methods are new. Hence A.

What is the OA ?

(A) the introduction of new methods of surgically implanting artificial and human organs
(B) the introduction of new surgical implantation methods of human and artificial organs
can't find anything wrong with this, although i feel (a) gets the point across more efficiently.
(C) the surgical introduction of new artificial and human organ implantation methods
surgical modifies introduction
(D) the introduction of implantation methods of new artificial and human organs
here, it says the organs are new, not the method
(E) the introduction of methods of surgically implanting new artificial and human organs
see (d)

My answer: A

i find A would sound better had it been - "the introduction of new methods of surgically implanting (surgical implanting) artificial and human organs"
