I get C
Computer software HAS the power to do something, so B and D are out.
"power to facilitate" makes it parallel with the rest of the sentence.

B and D are definetely wrong (No subject verb agreement).
A is wrong because particle 'to' is better suited in this case.
So I came to conclusion that answer should be C or E. My gut feeling tells that C sounds better.

I like A because the subject is computer software which is singular.
Which is better:
She has bags and purses or
She have bags and purses?
So A wins=)
This sentence is testing idiom not only X but also Y. A is the only one that maintains parallelism and has the correct idiom usage.

B
S-V agreement, I guess. Software is being designed. It will meet the needs of that study. It will also have the power to facilitate...

C - it is ambiguos
D, E - unidiomatic
Down to A and B
A - not parallel. (versatility and power of facilitating )
B remains.

Yurik is correct. ...versatility and power... are plural so the sentence needs "have" to make a correct SV agreement

"but also have the versatility and power to facilitate " modifies computer software.
