OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
Answer: C
The main problem with the sentence as written is the redundancy of "both...and" and "in addition." One of those must be deleted, so (A) is wrong. Scanning the answer choices, one key distinction between them is the word preceding "located." Two have "is," two have "are," and one has "and." The government facility "is" located--there is only the one facility. Thus, (B) and (E) must be wrong. Choice (D) has a different structure from the other choices. It has no verb to match the subject "government facility" and is not a complete sentence. This is clear when you read around all of the underlined details: "A...government facility [doing x]...and located at [y], having..., more than...." There's clearly something missing. Choice (C) is correct.

(A) both in nuclear physics and, in addition, human genomics is located at Los Alamos, New Mexico, which has - Parallelism error should be both in nuclear physics and in human genomics, and which should refer to the facility but in this option it refers to New Mexico
(B) both in nuclear physics and human genomics are located at Los Alamos, New Mexico, and had -Same parallelism error as Option A
(C) in both nuclear physics and human genomics is located at Los Alamos, New Mexico, and has -Correct option
(D) in both nuclear physics and human genomics and located at Los Alamos, New Mexico, Subject US research facility does not have a verb
(E) in both nuclear physics and human genomics are located at Los Alamos, New Mexico, and had - Subject verb error US research facility is a singular subject it does not need a plural verb
