I have two reasons to convince that the answer cud be D
1) 'which' refers to the 'serveilance system ' replace which by that system in the sentence and only in D it makes more sense
2) can interfere is the second part .. but ? can interfere is not clear so placing a modifier will fix the issue that is what is done in option D .
was that of any help ?

Researchers have announced that the magnetic fields emitted by one manufacturer’s security surveillance system, of which type there are 200,000 worldwide, can interfere with pacemakers and that this interaction can bring on missed or irregular heartbeats, nausea, breathlessness, dizziness, and even fainting.
A. of which type there are 200,000 worldwide, can interfere with pacemakers and that Researchers have announced that the magnetic fields.......can interfere..... and that this interaction.......
B. of which, worldwide, there are 200,000 of that type, and which can interfere with pacemakers, and ...and which....
C. of which type there are 200,000 worldwide, they can interfere with pacemakers and first part of the sentence produces fragment

E. 200,000 of that type existing worldwide and can interfere with pacemakers, and ...magnetic fields .....and can [fragment in the first part of the sentence]
The structure of this sentence is Researchers have announced that the magnetic fields ...and this interaction ...
There be is not preferred in GMAT. So A B C is not good.
E) that should be replaced by which because this is only which can follow a preposition in the non-attributive clause.

OA is D.
However, I do not agree with the above.

ANSWER: A This one is purely about style and clarity.
What is correct. We need Stuart
A is correct in my opinion.Confusion here is between A&D.
My reason for rejecting D is that
"Researchers have announced that the magnetic fields emitted by one manufacturer’s security surveillance system,200,000 of which type exist worldwide, interfering with pacemakers, and " If we omit this part the sentence is akward.
Now A maintains paralllelism.(announced that ....and that.)
also "Researchers have announced that the magnetic fields emitted by one manufacturer’s security surveillance system, of which type there are 200,000 worldwide, can interfere with pacemakers and that this interaction can bring on missed or irregular heartbeats" IF we omit this part sentence makes sense.

Khurram, underline the parts of the sentence that needs correction !!!khurram wrote:Researchers have announced that the magnetic fields emitted by one manufacturer’s

Anyways,
Researchers have announced that the magnetic fields emitted by one manufacturer’s security surveillance system, of which type there are 200,000 worldwide, can interfere with pacemakers and that this interaction can bring on missed or irregular heartbeats, nausea, breathlessness, dizziness, and even fainting.
A. of which type there are 200,000 worldwide, can interfere with pacemakers and that
B. of which, worldwide, there are 200,000 of that type, and which can interfere with pacemakers, and
C. of which type there are 200,000 worldwide, they can interfere with pacemakers and
D. 200,000 of which type exist worldwide, interfering with pacemakers, and
E. 200,000 of that type existing worldwide and can interfere with pacemakers, and
----------
IMO,
B,C and E are clearly out.
B/w A and D,
D -
1. does not maintain parallelism "that" is required in the underlined part as well
2. Changes the original meaning of the sentence. original sentence says that magnetic fields CAN interfere...., but D changes this possibility by saying tht magnetic fields are "interfering"
SO, i will stick with A
Gearing up for the D-day.
IMO A
Since researchers announced 2 things in 2 separate object clauses, which dont share a single subject, we should put a "that" before each one, rulling out all but A.
