A) Subtle issue but easy to spot -- should be 'A' one-hundred.... no "AN"
B) Same issue
C) CORRECT
D) There should be a comma after game -- the stuff after is a non-essential clause
E) Needless to say should have a comma after it.
Honestly, this does not feel like a typical GMAT question with these subtle grammar issues (or there are some typos); however, it is useful to think in about the the structure of the modifiers in D and E for identifying errors in other questions.

Hi!!
I was also stuck between C and E. I just wanted to know whether "needless to say" always unnecessary. Or as Jim mentioned, it should be followed by a comma. Can we expect this type in real GMAT?
Thanks for you both for your time.
