No, I wouldn't say that the OA is ambiguous. The answers with "pondering" were (hence the problem), and we'd need more clarity if your meaning #1 were intended. But as it stands, I'd say the meaning of the OA is clear and unambiguous. It can't fairly be read the other way.

Researchers studying the brain scans of volunteers who pondered ethical dilemmas have found that the basis for making tough moral judgments is emotion, not logic or analytical reasoning.
the right idiomatic structure for 'basis' is: ".... basis for (doing something).."
Since (B) and (D) do not have this idiomatic structure, we can eliminate (B) and (D).
(A) the brain scans of volunteers who pondered ethical dilemmas have found that the basis for making tough moral judgments is - (A) has no error and conveys the meaning perfectly. Hence, (A) is the right answer choice.
(C) the brain scans of volunteers pondering ethical dilemmas and found that the basis for making tough moral decisions is - (C) introduces the following structure to the sentence. The researches studying...... and found that.... - This structure has a parallelism error. Hence, we can eliminate (C).
(E) volunteers’ brain scans while they pondered ethical dilemmas have found that the basis for making tough moral judgments is - the demonstrative pronoun 'they' does not have a clear antecedent (it could possibly refer to scans, or to researchers). Hence, we can eliminate (E).
If you find this explanation helpful, please do give it a kudos
