Should be A
Eliminate B,C,D because we need 'of' at the end. Eliminate A because proper idiom is 'theory that...', not 'theory of...'

I went with E because of the "theory of" evolution

I believe the correct idiom is "theory that" so I go with A as well.
I think "theory of" only works when you are referring to a specific theory (i.e. Relativity, Evolution, etc.) This example appears to refer to a generic theory and "that" tells the reader what the theory is.

A: theory that "black hole lies at the center...." - sounds ok
E: theory of "black hole" - that lies... - sounds awkward

another A for me, imo
Additionally we need the "at the center of" construction and not the possesive form ('s) because otherwise the ellipsis would not be correct, right?
Please correct if I am mistaken
