Unlike all the other mammal species whose olfactory receptors, which detect smell, were studied, the African elephants use nearly 2,000 olfactory genes to smell various objects, which in turn detect their odor.
reason 1 : here option A and D uses similar mistake of which or that is modifying the objects which is total wrong so A and D are out
A. objects, which in turn detect wrong by reason 1
B. objects, and they will detect wrong. usage of they is redundant as elephants act as common subject and usage of will is wrong tense,
C. objects, resulting in detectingwrong. resulting gives the wrong causal effect and detecting is the wrong tense and wrong parallelism with the verb use
D. objects that result in detecting wrong by reason 1
E. objects and thereby detect correct answer , perfect parallelism of use and detect.
so correct answer is E

Sentence Structure:
Unlike other mammals whose olfactory receptors were studied
the African elephants use nearly 2,000 olfactory genes to smell various objects to detect the odour
A) Objects do not detect odour. Incorrect modifier
B) ambiguous refererant for pronoun "they"
C) use of resulting is incorrect here..Elephants use 2000 genes to detect odour[Correct]....Elephants use 2000 genes resulting in detecting odour[Awkward and Incorrect]
D) Incorrect for similar reason as C.
E) Only valid construction that communicates the correct meaning
IMO E is correct
