Research shows that even among the brightest students, despite having the brains for it, those who are African-American or Hispanic are much less likely to become inventors, but this measurement of intellectual ability can explain just the gap in invention rates between wealthy and not-so-wealthy students and almost nothing about the gap in those between men and women.

Looking at answer choices, I immediately see the split between SHOWS and SHOWING. All of the choices with showing, when placed into the sentence, don't make sense- creates an incomplete thought. "Research showing... X Y and Z, but" Makes no sense. B and D are out.
A - "despite having the brains for it" - what does "it" refer to? If we look further we can find "inventors", but why is this mentioned after "it"? Let's look at C.
C - "despite having the brains for doing so, even among the brightest students" should be combined with an "and". Basically have two modifiers that are awkwardly placed. What are they modifying? Confusing. Look at E.
E - Perfect. Complete thought, flows, makes sense, no ambiguous pronouns.
