IMO - A

SV error in B, D & E
That modifier looks better and correct compared to Being in option C

Methane, which has long been counted among the greenhouse gases that are implicated in global warming, comes both from natural sources such as bogs and from a host of human sources, including coal mines, leaking pipelines, landfills, and rice paddies.

The parallelism is maintained in option A; there are no other issues.

A. that are implicated in global warming, comes both from

B. that are implicated in global warming, coming from both - the working verb is absent for the subject Methane

C. being implicated in global warming, comes from both - (1) "being" can be used for modification if it implies some temporary state; not the case here. (2) Another error is broken parallelism in idiom both X and Y: "from both X and from Y" does not work: "from" can be used either once outside or twice inside.

D. implicated in global warming and coming both from - same as in (B): lack of working verb

E. implicated in global warming, that come both from - same as in (B) and (D)

A. that are implicated in global warming, comes both from
comes from both A and B or comes both from A and from B
The usage of 'from' before "...host of human resources..." seems to make A the answer, IMO.

B. that are implicated in global warming, coming from both
Same reason as stated in A.

C. being implicated in global warming, comes from both
being - temporary usage, doesn't fit the meaning?

D. implicated in global warming and coming both from
coming both from A and B, ____ (the remaining part is missing). Structure and meaning fails here?

E. implicated in global warming, that come both from
Changes the intended meaning --> global warming does not come from natural sources and human sources... greenhouse gases do.


IMO, Answer is A.
Experts/experienced folks please comment whether the other options are incorrect for reasons other than those stated above.

According to me A is correct...

structure : Methane , ......(description).... , comes both from X ..... and from Y

option B)
Methane , .......... , coming from both...
Basically it says : "Methane coming from both X and Y" (no verb here) hence wrong

option C)
"comes from Both X and Y " looks correct but the non underlined part contains "from" before "host of natural resources"(which was Y part) Therefore our X part should contain "from"
adding to this ,
initial part "being implicated" sounds like it is implicated purposefully , hence wrong

option D)
similar error like B .... No verb

option E) looks like Methane ,...................., that come from...
firstly Methane ->singular->"comes from"
& "that" not required here

B,D and E are not sentences. ("coming" and "that come" are not verbs)
C (from both… and from…) is not parallel. "A" uses correct structure "Both from … And from…"
