Dear Friends,
Here is a detailed explanation to this question-
Choice A: This answer choice conveys the intended meaning of the sentence and is quite concise. Thus, this answer choice is correct.
Choice B: This answer choice is needlessly wordy. Additionally, this answer choice changes the meaning of the sentence by using the phrase "inventors need to learn", the original sentence does not imply a need for inventors to learn anything. Thus, this answer choice is incorrect.
Choice C: This answer choice is needlessly wordy due to its use of the phrase "have not as of yet". Thus, this answer choice is not a very good one.
Choice D: This answer choice is needlessly wordy due to the use of the phrase "as yet have to". Thus, this answer choice is not a very good one.
Choice E: This answer choice repeats the errors seen in Option A. Thus, this answer choice is incorrect.
Hence, A is the best answer choice.
All the best!
