Research [during the past several decades on the nature of language and the processes that produce and make it understandable] has revealed great complexity instead of underlying simplicity.

这里的主语是research，the nature和the processes并列，所以谓语用单数has；A中的produce and make it understandable 用的主动语态，相对与C的被动语态，A更加简洁。
