Hi mates,
although the OA has already said, let me post my explanation
the key point is //ism: "the balck hole lies at the center of the --- and of ----"
The other possibility could be E, but this answer changes the meaning if the sentence
Source?
Cheers

Problem with B: Breaks parallelism; black hole lies AT the Milky Way's center and [those of] many of the 100 billion.. Also, as seen above, removing the parallelism issue will make the sentence sounding even more weird. The key issue is since we are saying AT THE MILKY WAY'S center ... then we must MIRROR the same structure in the second phrase as well.

Appreciated your response buddy. But I guess, is that what sentence is trying to communicate.. at the center of the milkyway and of the center of many other galaxies.. then it that case, later part of the sentence(non-underlined portion) needs changes..Honestly this questions looks to me weired or incorrect.

Agree with you that question is weird but B is def not correct.
B violates parallelism and gives entirely different meaning.
When I use B I get feeling that sentence is talking about 2 theories one about black hole and other abt galaxies.

IMO A
Recent findings lend strong support to the theory that a black hole lies at the center of the Milky Way and of many of the 100 billion other galaxies estimated to exist in the universe. A. that a black hole lies at the center of the Milky Way and of --> most precise in meaning: a black hole lying at the center of milky way and at the center of many of 100 billions other galaxies, is estimated ... and that clause is correctly used to modify for the theory B. that a black hole lies at the Milky Way’s center and -->not clear as (A) because black holes is not clearly stated where it is lying in 100 billions other galaxies C. that there is a black hole lying at the Milky Way’s center an --> there is is awkward and also, same error as (B) D. of a black hole lying at the Milky Way’s center and --> of a is not precise as the use of that clause and same error as (B) E. of a black hole that lies at the center of the Milky Way and of --> same error as (D)

D & E out - Meaning changed
C out - passive voice
B can be elimiated cause the first part of the sentece that says 'that a black hole lies at the Milky Way’s center' is perfect but the second half ' Milky Way and of many of the 100 billion other galaxies' tends to change the meaning.
Lets simplify this - A - black hole lies at the center of X and of Y B - Black hole lies at the X's center and Y

left with A and B .. I am not sure how to eliminate the wrong option here?
in A 'Milky Way and of' sounds wierd to me ... can some one explain the use of 'of' at the end?
