A. has yielded interesting results and attracted the attention
B. has yielded results of interest and has attracted the attention
C. has yielded interesting results and have attracted the attention

The above choices have an SV error, since the subject (efforts) is plural and requires plural verb. “Has” here is singular. Eliminate A, B and C.

E. have yielded results of interest and have attracted the attention — “results of interest” is not as stylistic as “interesting results”. Concision matters here. Eliminate this in favour of D.

A. has yielded interesting results and attracted the attention -> Efforts (plural subject) require plural verb (have). Incorrect to use "has".
B. has yielded results of interest and has attracted the attention -> Efforts (plural subject) require plural verb (have). Incorrect to use "has".
C. has yielded interesting results and have attracted the attention -> Efforts (plural subject) require plural verb (have). Incorrect to use "has".
D. have yielded interesting results and attracted the attention -> Subject verb agreement issue is resolved now. We have "yielded interesting results" and "attracted the attention of something" are parallel and meaning wise makes sense. Let's keep it
E. have yielded results of interest and have attracted the attention -> we have "yielded results of interest " and "attracted the attention of something (noun)" seems issue with the meaning. We can say, D is still better than E.

So, I think D. :)

C. has yielded interesting results and have attracted the attention
D. have yielded interesting results and attracted the attention
E. have yielded results of interest and have attracted the attention



Efforts "have" yeilded

Eliminate option A,B ,and C

E is unnecessary using verb twice and lengthy..
option D is concise and clear in meaning with no parallelism error

I think it is E, mainly because of "have" attracted

The answer to this question has to be E, as it is the only option that doesn't have subject-verb agreement errors and parallelism errors.

Answer is D. Has/have split. Eliminate A B C. "Results of interest" is needlessly wordy and you don't need to repeat "have" twice.

A. has yielded interesting results and attracted the attention : eliminated coz of subject verb agreement error.
B. has yielded results of interest and has attracted the attention:eliminated coz of subject verb agreement error.
C. has yielded interesting results and have attracted the attention:eliminated coz of subject verb agreement error.
D. have yielded interesting results and attracted the attention: This looks good.Parallelism is good . "Interesting" acts as an adjective and emphasises " results ".
E. have yielded results of interest and have attracted the attention : no subject verb error , parallelism is ok too but " results of interests " changes the meaning and no emphasis on "results".

D fits well.
