The sentence is perfect as it is. I dont find an error.
Option A...
The computer software being designed for a project studying Native American access to higher education will not only meet the needs of that study, but also has the versatility and power of facilitating similar research endeavors.
(A) but also has the versatility and power of facilitating
(B) but also have the versatility and power to facilitate
(C) but it also has the versatility and power to facilitate
(D) and also have the versatility and power of facilitating
(E) and it also has such versatility and power that it can facilitate
has to be singular.. so option B and D are omitted (they both use "have").. option E is wordy..
between option A and option C, I would have marked option C for the tense and use of word "it".

the answer is straight away A.No second thoughts.idiom is-the more x ....the more y.both parts must be in the same degree to show the right comparision.
As is used to show clause comparision or to give examples.in the sentences no such intentions are comprehended
A is the correct answer.The noun phrase requires singular verbs-has.

@GwG
the correct usage is power to X and not power of X ( which is used in mathematics)
I believe that in this case the answer will be C.
I have also missed the subject-verb agreement while posting the answer.
