Curious to know what the source of this question is. Actually official questions are never in first person and both C and E use first person.

Couple of things that go against E:

1. In GMAT, a comma always precedes which (when which is used as a relative pronoun). This gives an easy way to eliminate E.

2. E says: makes it difficult for we, but it should be makes it difficult for us. Again, the easy way to remember this is that for is a preposition and the object form of pronouns (us in this case) should be used after preposition, not the subject form (we in this case).

I can tell you right now this isn't an OG question. Why do people waste their time with ridiculous questions from other sources? If the question doesn't come from the OG or a top prep company don't do it and don't post it on here. I would go C but us to me is completely ambiguous.
