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

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

can someone help with the question...

extremely important but more research was needed to determine that balloon angioplasty
preceded with ultrasound was or was not any better for heart attack patients than the
balloon procedure by itself.

Please explain the answer ..... and why other options are incorrect.
A. of which type there are 200,000 worldwide, can interfere with pacemakers and that -->CORRECT: announced that x.. and that y...
B. of which, worldwide, there are 200,000 of that type, and which can interfere with pacemakers, and -->INCORRECT: second 'and' should correspond to main clause and requires 'that'; Also has fragmentation error"
C. of which type there are 200,000 worldwide, they can interfere with pacemakers and -->INCORRECT: they refers to all types, while the sentence doesn't intend to say so"
D. 200,000 of which type exist worldwide, interfering with pacemakers, and -->INCORRECT: comma +ing modifier, modifies the subject of previous clause and here we want to refer to subject of Main clause
E. 200,000 of that type existing worldwide and can interfere with pacemakers, and -->INCORRECT:missing main verb
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. Not doing so can undermine people's confidence or reinforce in them bad structures that could cost them dearly on exam day
OA= A

Isnt the usage of 'which' ambiguous
Does it refer to magnetic fields or surveillance system?
