Best of lot.

It may someday be worthwhile to try to clone animal tissue for consumption, but at present, this process is prohibitively expensive.

(A) It may someday be worthwhile to try to clone animal tissue for consumption
Correct- to try to is the correct idiom

(B) Someday, it may be worthwhile to try and clone animal tissue for consumption
to try and is wrong

(C) Trying to clone animal tissue for consumption may someday be worthwhile
Trying may not be worthwhile but cloning may be worthwhile- wrong meaning

(D) To try for the cloning of animal tissue for consumption may someday be worthwhile
To try for is wordy

(E) Cloning animal tissue for consumption may be worthwhile to try to do someday
to do creates redundancy

Ans A

It may someday be worthwhile to try to clone animal tissue for consumption, but at present, this process is prohibitively expensive.

(A) It may someday be worthwhile to try to clone animal tissue for consumption ~ Correct use of idiom "to try to clone", with clear meaning

(B) Someday, it may be worthwhile to try and clone animal tissue for consumption ~ Incorrect structure " to try and clone"

(C) Trying to clone animal tissue for consumption may someday be worthwhile ~ Changes the meaning of the sentence, it intended to cover that the trying is expensive, but actually it is clonning which is expensive.

(D) To try for the cloning of animal tissue for consumption may someday be worthwhile ~ Incorrect structure of " To try for"

(E) Cloning animal tissue for consumption may be worthwhile to try to do someday ~ A is a better construction. Also to try to do clonning is not preferred over to try to clone

IMO Choice A.

(A) It may someday be worthwhile to try to clone animal tissue for consumption - This option is correct.

(B) Someday, it may be worthwhile to try and clone animal tissue for consumption - The use of "try and clone" is less precise than "try to clone."

(C) Trying to clone animal tissue for consumption may someday be worthwhile - This option is a bit awkward in terms of word order and less direct than the original.

(D) To try for the cloning of animal tissue for consumption may someday be worthwhile - This option is less clear than the original.

(E) Cloning animal tissue for consumption may be worthwhile to try to do someday - This option is unnecessarily wordy, and the placement of "to try to do" is awkward.

In conclusion, Option (A) is the grammatically correct.

(A) It may someday be worthwhile to try to clone animal tissue for consumption
We need first clause to be IC. so above sentence look ok. Keep it.
(B) ~~Someday, it may be worthwhile to try and clone animal tissue for consumption~~
IIism issue. It may be worthwhile
-to try
-to clone
"what to try"
Eliminate
(C) ~~Trying to clone animal tissue for consumption may someday be worthwhile~~
Since second sentence is IC first one need to be IC. Out
(D) ~~To try for the cloning of animal tissue for consumption may someday be worthwhile~~
Similar to (C) wee need IC. out
(E) ~~Cloning animal tissue for consumption may be worthwhile to try to do someday~~
It's wordy and less preferable compare to A

Answer is (A)

(A) It may someday be worthwhile to try to clone animal tissue for consumption
-- looks ok

(B) Someday, it may be worthwhile to try and clone animal tissue for consumption
-- "try and" is incorrect. it should be "try to"

(C) Trying to clone animal tissue for consumption may someday be worthwhile
-- This shifts focus from "cloning of animal tissues" to "trying to do so".

(D) To try for the cloning of animal tissue for consumption may someday be worthwhile
-- "try for the cloning" does not make sense

(E) Cloning animal tissue for consumption may be worthwhile to try to do someday
-- "try to do someday" should start the sentence. This is incorrect placement.

Option A

It may someday be worthwhile to try to clone animal tissue for consumption, but at present, this process is prohibitively expensive.

(A) It may someday be worthwhile to try to clone animal tissue for consumption
(B) Someday, it may be worthwhile to try and clone animal tissue for consumption
(C) Trying to clone animal tissue for consumption may someday be worthwhile
(D) To try for the cloning of animal tissue for consumption may someday be worthwhile
(E) Cloning animal tissue for consumption may be worthwhile to try to do someday

Solution: The original underlined phrase is flawed as the use of "to try to clone" is awkward and it doesn't give this a definition of a process which is here mentioned as expensive to carry out.

(A) It may someday be worthwhile to try to clone animal tissue for consumption
Explanation: As explained above this is wrong. INCORRECT

(B) Someday, it may be worthwhile to try and clone animal tissue for consumption
Explanation: The use of conjunction 'and' here is wrong and it changes the intended meaning. INCORRECT

(C) Trying to clone animal tissue for consumption may someday be worthwhile
Explanation: This option is grammatically correct and maintains the intended meaning. This explains that 'Trying to clone animal tissue' is the said process which is currently expensive to perform. CORRECT

(D) To try for the cloning of animal tissue for consumption may someday be worthwhile
Explanation: Awkward prepositional usage 'for' here in 'to try for' and also wordy. INCORRECT

(E) Cloning animal tissue for consumption may be worthwhile to try to do someday
Explanation: This option is very convoluted and awkward in terms of usage of 'to try to do'. INCORRECT

Option C is the right answer.

It may someday be worthwhile to try to clone animal tissue for consumption, but at present, this process is prohibitively expensive.

(A) It may someday be worthwhile to try to clone animal tissue for consumption => "It" is an undefined pronoun here... this answer seems correct but may not be the best, let's check.
(B) Someday, it may be worthwhile to try and clone animal tissue for consumption => "try and clone " => change of meaning since the point is to try to clone...
(C) Trying to clone animal tissue for consumption may someday be worthwhile => I like this one. "Trying to clone animal tissue..." acts like a subject and the overall sentence makes sense
(D) To try for the cloning of animal tissue for consumption may someday be worthwhile => "to try for the cloning.." wordy, weird and not much sense...
(E) Cloning animal tissue for consumption may be worthwhile to try to do someday => meaning issue since it changes the initial point about "trying to clone"

So Answer C for me
