Hi,
you have three choices startiing with THAT and two with MOVING..
the portion in the underlined portion modifies best seller and requires that..
D and E can be eliminated

Use of WITH in B makes parallelism an issue..
HAS is not proper in C

Original is correct as it is
ans A

Many thanks in advance.
