A. tested that could eventually propel aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours or help - Correct (it is clear n concise)
B. tested that could eventually have the capability of propelling aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours or to help - Parallelism Error
C. tested, eventually able to propel aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours, or helping - Parallelism Error
D. tested, and it eventually could propel aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours, or helping- should be 'help' - Parallelism Error

B. tested that could eventually have the capability of propelling aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours or to help - propelling.. help not parallel . ELIMINATE
C. tested, eventually able to propel aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours, or helping ... to propel .. helping not parallel. ELIMINATE

Can we have the official answer and the official explanation.
IMO though E is wordier..i think it is correct. I am not sure
Even though A is concise ... i think its wrong . I am not sure
Basic instinct in guess

IMO A.
A. tested that could eventually propel aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours or help -correct.
"that could propel" and "(that could) help" are parallel.
B. tested that could eventually have the capability of propelling aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours or to help -use of "capability" with "could / can " is redundant
C. tested, eventually able to propel aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours, or helping -
"to propel" and "helping" are not parallel
D. tested, and it eventually could propel aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours or helping -
"could propel" and "helping" are not parallel
E. tested, and it could eventually have the capability to propel aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours or help -use of "capability" with "could / can" is redundant

https://www.beatthegmat.com/propel-t14571.html - here it says the OA is E
https://www.beatthegmat.com/jet-engine-t14018.html - here also they r saying the OA is E
Its high time for this question to be closed forever! since there have been two opinions on this topic since past 2 years...
Request the moderators and instructors to intervene.

just to add something here.... after finding out "possible" errors, just think: " does your " The One" makes sense ? "
eventually propel aircraft anywhere
that could eventually propel???? huh
:roll:
what author wants to convey, should always be kept in mind !
and regarding the idiomatic usage of capability, here's a link which will help you :
