 Lap   Why a timer is critical to improving your score
At Shiprock, New Mexico, a perennially powerful girls’ high school basketball team has become a path to college for some and a source of pride for a community where the household incomes of 49 percent of them are below the poverty level.

(A) where the household incomes of 49 percent of them are
(B) where they have 49 percent of the household incomes
(C) where 49 percent of the household incomes are
(D) which has 49 percent of the household incomes
(E) in which 49 percent of them have household incomes

Can someone please explain the answer.Why is it "C"

Firstly use the Underline option to underline the question.

Secondly, notice "they" and "them" in all the option except C and D. Who is they and them, referring to? Noone. Hence they are all wrong.

D - which refers to community and a community cannot have 49% income (It can but that is not the intended meaning here in this question).
