Researchers have discovered that persons who have been deaf from birth, and who thus have never heard music in the traditional sense, nevertheless feel the vibrations of a song as strongly and with the same intensity as hearing people do, and that they will seek out music even when bass isn't the primary component.

Researchers have discovered that persons who have been deaf from birth, and who thus have never heard music in the traditional sense, nevertheless feel the vibrations of a song as strongly and with the same intensity as hearing people do, and that they will seek out music even when bass isn't the primary component.

E. thus never having heard music in the traditional sense, nevertheless to feel the vibrations of a song as strongly and with the same intensity as hearing people do, and to seek out
Researchers have essentially discovered two hings that are introduced by the connector ‘that’. -1. that persons who have been deaf from birth and 2. And that that they will seek out music
C, D, and E can be simply dumped because they lack the legendary ‘that’ parallelism by missing out the connector in the second part of the sentence, notwithstanding many other structural and tense errors.
Now between A and B—B means to say that it is some kind of isolated occurrence, whereas, we know this is a universal phenomenon. Hence B is wrong. A is the choice.

Dear Friends,
Here is a detailed explanation to this question-
Choice A: This answer choice maintains proper tense use and parallelism throughout the sentence. Thus, this answer choice is correct
Choice B: This answer choice uses the simple past tense to refer to the action of never having heard music in the traditional sense; however, in the context of this sentence this action impacts the present meaning that the present perfect tense must be used. This answer choice also incorrectly uses the adjective "strong", rather than the adverb "strongly" to modify the verb "feel". Thus, this answer choice is incorrect.
Choice C: This answer choice incorrectly uses the simple past tense, rather than the simple present tense, to refer to universal truths and habitual actions. Additionally, this answer choice fails to maintain parallelism between the phrases "that persons who have been deaf from birth" and "as well as seeking out ". Thus, this answer choice is incorrect.
Choice D: This answer choice incorrectly uses the past perfect continuous tense to refer to the action of never having heard music in the traditional sense. This answer choice also repeats the tense and parallelism errors found in Option C. Thus, this answer choice is incorrect.
Choice E: This answer choice repeats the tense and parallelism errors seen in Option C. Thus, this answer choice is incorrect.
Hence, A is the best answer choice.
