A. of which type there are 200,000 worldwide, can interfere with pacemakers and that - have announced is the verb of sentence , we don't need another verb.

B. of which, worldwide, there are 200,000 of that type, and which can interfere with pacemakers, and - run on sentence

C. of which type there are 200,000 worldwide, they can interfere with pacemakers and - run on sentence

D and E

If you remove the non - restrictive clause from both D and E , and then read the sentence , E doesnot make sense.

i guess i am still not clear why A is wrong.

OK

here is my take

Researchers have announced - 1st main clause

that the magnetic fields emitted by one manufacturer’s security surveillance system - 1st subordinate clause

of which type there are 200,000 worldwide - 2nd Subordinate clause

can interfere with pacemakers and -- ?????

that this interaction can bring on missed or irregular heartbeats,
nausea, breathlessness, dizziness, and even fainting - 3rd subordinate clause

D should be incorrect...


D. 200,000 of which type exist worldwide, interfering with pacemakers, and

If D can be rewritten as


200,000 of which type exist worldwide, interfere with pacemakers, and <- correct IMO

Whats the source of this question?

I would hate to hear that this is another 1000 SC question or maybe a SET question or a question you picked up off the web. I propose that people cite the source when posting their questions.
