A and C have a pronoun issue. "they" and "them" are plural, but they refer to "R&D team", which is singular.
In B, "revolutionarily potential" is bizarre, and I'm not even sure what it means.
D has a weird tense, conditional progressive ("would be conducting"), that I don't think the sentence requires. Additionally, "revolutionary potential" does not mean the same thing as "potentially revolutionary", and the second option makes more sense.
E is pretty good. The CEO gave the team a new facility in which to conduct research.

Hey!
Can I say that option "E" is the only option that follows infinitives of purpose.
If yes, then is it a thumb rule?
