The correct answers are C and E.
Although you may be confused that the answer choices contain three synonyms: innovative, unusual, and cutting-edge, choices C, D, and E , you can eliminate choice D because the characteristic of being unusual is not so strong as being either innovative or cutting edge, the correct answers. Choice A, "farreaching," and choice B, "wide-ranging," are synonyms, but the implication from the first part of the sentence is that NASA conducted research related to the space program, so that it wasn't doing research over a wide number of fields of study. You can eliminate choice $F$ because NASA by the nature of its program wouldn't be conducting conventional research.
