Re: The pioneering research

Should it not be "Research by" instead of "Research of"? Between C and E, I ended up choosing E (even though its a bit wordier).

"Research of" seems to imply that Thomas Edison was the subject of the research.


Nope, "research of" is just fine! In fact, I think it's more common to see "the research of (person)" than "the research by".

It would be like saying "the musical works of Beethoven". We know that Beethoven was the one composing the works.
