C looks fine to me as well. E is not grammatically incorrect, but it is longer than C.

However, it is mentioned on a lot of websites that using "hopefully" is incorrect. So that rules out C.

A & D - use of "which" is wrong.
B & C - "hopefully" is almost always wrong on GMAT.
E - though it is having more phrases, but still is the best choice.
