uce08 is right, B can't be the OA - car interiors can't respond to demand for high-end vehicles, but auto makers can. This leaves us with C and E.

In C, it is unclear what "they" refers to - are the cars selling for twice the price, or are the interiors selling for twice the price? E corrects this problem by clarifying that "these cars" sell for twice the price. We can eliminate C, leaving us with the correct answer, E.
