Explanation:

First Sub - Question

The text before the blank talks about a discovery (light's nature) and the blank is followed by another related aspect (speed of light). "In addition" is used to add more information, which fits here. "In contrast" is for contrast, "Regardless" is for despite something, and "For this reason" is for cause - effect, which don't fit.

The first part explains that a gene is affected by many factors including interactions with other genes' products. The second part says that efforts to understand gene mutations are now considering the human proteome. This is a result of the first part, so "Accordingly" (which means as a result) fits. "In other words" is for rephrasing, "That said" is for a contrastive statement, and "For example" is for illustration, which don't fit.

Answer:

C. In addition
