Retail stores of the same type often succeed despite the fact that they are clustered next to each other; one reason is suggested by the behavior of consumers, who would rather shop in an area in which comparisons between products can be made at several stores than in an area in which comparisons can be made at only one or two stores.

Only A gives clear meaning. All other options are either wordy or not clear in expressing the meaning.
Getting defeated is just a temporary notion, giving it up is what makes it permanent.

In B and C, clustered seems to modify reason. The intended meaning is that the STORES are clustered.

In D and E, retail stores can succeed does not convey the intended meaning. The original sentence states that retails stores OF THE SAME TYPE OFTEN succeed. Also, the relative pronoun that is missing: one reason THAT retail stores can succeed. Eliminate D and E.
The correct answer is A.
