Incorrect!. The -ing modifier, wrongly modifies the subject of the initial clause (The complex structure). We want to adress that the adhesive foot-pad of the gecko has this structures. Hence, the verb-ing modifier is wrong.

Incorrect.Same as A)
Abhi077
Incorrect. Subject-Verb error. The pronoun (they) has an antecedent, the researchers, which is not the intended meaning.
Abhi077
Incorrect. Subject-Verb error. The subject (complex structure) requires a single verb. "Help" is a plural verb
Abhi077
Correct
