In the researchers’ studies of HIV, it was found that the V1-V2 hypervariable region of the protein has many possible escape mutations, consistent with previous findings, and also found sequences that would have a lower probability of escape.

Explanation
Choice A: No. The modifier consistent with previous findings incorrectly modifies escape mutations.
Choice B: No. The pronoun they does not match the introductory clause of in the researchers’ studies.
Choice C: Yes. This sentence properly articulates the ideas that the studies found the result, which is consistent with previous findings, and also found other sequences that would have a lower probability of escape.
Choice D: No. The modifier just as low of an escape probability incorrectly changes the meaning of the original sentence.
Choice E: No. The modifier just as low of an escape probability incorrectly changes the meaning of the original sentence.
The correct answer is choice C.

A. In the researchers’ studies of HIV, it was found that the V1-V2 hypervariable region of the protein has many possible escape mutations, consistent with previous findings, and also found sequences that would have a lower probability of escape. ( Incorrect: "It" refers to the delayed subject in the sentence. A noun clause takes place of "it" when "it" refers to a delayed subject. Now, in this case, the First clause works fine but there is no "that" for the second clause. "found" is directly used as a verb. "It was found that X is amazing and found Y". The second found should have had "That" preceding it)
B. In the researchers’ studies of HIV, they found that the V1-V2 hypervariable region of the protein has many possible escape mutations, which is consistent with previous findings, and also found sequences that would have just as low of an escape probability. ( Incorrect: What does modifier "which is consistent" modifies, escape mutations? It should modify this new finding.)
C. The researchers’ studies of HIV found that the V1-V2 hypervariable region of the protein has many possible escape mutations, a result consistent with previous findings, and also found sequences that would have a lower probability of escape. ( Correct: Now "It" is removed so we don't have to worry about delayed subjects and related noun clauses. In this case, Study found X and also found Y. Correct sentence structure)
