Choices C, D, and E have incorrectly placed adjectives; choice C says "surgical introduction," when it is the implantation that is surgical, not the introduction. Choices D and E both mention "new artificial and human organs," when the method is actually new, not the organs. Choosing between A and B is trickier, but B says "methods of human and artificial organs," which is incorrect; it's a method of implanting, not a method of organs.

The placement of "surgical" in B isn't a problem; it's the placement of "methods" that poses a problem in that choice.
