Option A - Incorrect
"to examine and determining" -- not parallel.
"The application of a new method ... allows scientists ... to determine that the diets of pre human ancestors were more varied" -- even this does not make sense. This implies that the scientists already knew that the diets of pre human ancestors were more varied and now are just working on the mechanics to show it via experimental results. A better choice of words would be -- "to determine whether".
Option B - Incorrect
the initial modifier "through the application" must refer to a people who performed the application, not to molars.
"the molars of pre human ancestors were examined by scientists who determined that their diets were more varied ...". This is the same as "Scientists who determined that theS diets of pre human ancestors were more varied examined the molars". Seems to imply that those scientists had already determined that fact when they examined the molars. Not logical.
Option C - Incorrect
"when" suggests that "examined" and "applied" occurred in the same time frame. No other relationship is mentioned. However, "applying the method" was HOW scientists "examined". This is made clear in option E.
Also, "determined", "examined", and "were more varied" all seem to happen in the same time frame. Not logical.
Option D - Incorrect
"applying …" nonsensically refers to "molars".
"have been examined" + "who determined" -- this suggests that "determining" happened before the examination.
"to examine and determining" -- not parallel.
