- Chave suggested
- Dsuggest
Explanation
The clause needs a present participle introducing a consequence: "...better average learning outcomes, suggesting that appropriate interventions... may have positive effects." "Suggest" would need a subject of its own, "suggested" cannot head this participial construction, and "have suggested" breaks the link to the main clause. Option (B) is correct.
