to identify IT reference..better to ask: What is IT? and you should be able to replace the noun for IT...and the sentence should make sense.

D is correct..as discovery of what----> new class of genes

the sentence pattern of D is

main clause, noun+adjective or which clause

in this pattern, noun phrase modify entire main clause.

for example,

She is beautiful, a fact I know
