A) combing atoms at room temperature may be possible one day.
This seems more of a modifier to me, so after comma i expect the subject who combines.
I am probably wrong here because after comma we have BUT. This is not the modifier case.
B) One day, it may be possible to combine atoms at the room temperature of a room.
if this option were to be without of a room(in the end), probably it would have been the best option.
C) The combination of atoms at room temperature may one day be possible.
D) It may one day be possible to combine atoms at room temperature.
Infinitive subject is used. However this is correct, but I just READ that we should prefer -inf subject over infinitive subject esp if the sunject is long.(good for writing style)
SO this is not wrong but may be less preferred
E) combing atoms at room temperature may one day be possible.

The reason i chose D was because i feel that combine here is the intention/purpose so it should come in the infinitve form- TO COMBINE
In option D, we use placeholder IT, so IT actually refers to -> to combine atoms at room temperature
and dis acts as the subject. Also SUCH in the second part after comma refers to this subject.
What's the OA and the source?
All the comments in green are the updated one.
Initially i chose option D, but i just read that having a infinitive subject (esp long like this one) is not wrong but not preferred. Even the modified version with plaeholder IT (option D) should be avoided if an option with -ing form as subject is present...
Having read/said that, now i feel the OA should be between A and E. I am confused between these. But i will go with A, as in option E (at room temperature may one day) seems awkward
What's the OA and source??
