It can.
I wasn't paying close enough attention at the time. Sorry.
I've done a bit of research myself, looking into the distribution and function of
made into and
done into. Two things are noteworthy:
i. Both of these are common
- Research has been done [pause] into <about 33,000 hits>
- Research has been made [pause] into <about 84,000 hits>
This one has the most,
- Research has been done [pause] on <463,000 hits>
This one has the least,
- Research has been made [pause] on <663 hits>
I agree with you Jiang.
Made into seems to be a more plausible answer than does
done into. As I see it, we've two options:
i. There's a typo in the text question:
into should be
on.
ii. The answer key is wrong. a), not b), is the key.

No, not necessarily; e.g.,
Bread only, please.
All the best.
