Most of the purported health benefits of tea comes from antioxidants-compounds also found in beta carotene, vitamin E, and vitamin C that inhibit the formation of plaque along the body's blood vessels.

A. comes from antioxidants-compounds also found in beta carotene, vitamin E, and vitamin C that
B. comes from antioxidants-compounds that are also found in beta carotene, vitamin E, and vitamin C, and they
C. come from antioxidants-compounds also found in beta carotene, vitamin E, and vitamin C, and
D. come from antioxidants-compounds that are also found in beta carotene, vitamin E, and vitamin C and that
E. come from antioxidants-compounds also found in beta carotene, vitamin E, and vitamin C, and they

most + COUNTABLE NOUN = PLURAL.
most + NONCOUNTABLE NOUN = SINGULAR.
In A and B, comes (singular) does not agree with most of the health benefits (most + COUNTABLE NOUN).
Eliminate A and B.

A conjunction such as and must serve to connect PARALLEL FORMS.
C: compounds also FOUND in beta carotene...and INHIBIT the formation of plaque
E: compounds also FOUND in beta carotene...and they INHIBIT the formation of plaque
In these answer choices, found serves as a ADJECTIVE describing compounds.
What KIND of compounds?
Compounds FOUND in beta carotene.
In contrast, inhibit serves not as a modifier but as a VERB.
What ACTION is performed by compounds?
They INHIBIT the formation of plaque.
A conjunction such as and cannot serve to connect a MODIFIER (found) to a VERB (inhibit).
Eliminate C and E.

The correct answer is D.

Uva-

The easiest description of 'that' vs 'they' in this scenario is that 'they' creates an independent clause and what comes after it is not a complete thought.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
