Option A - incorrect
This option doesn't show subject and verb agreement. The subject of the sentence 'demand' is singular and it is supposed to take a singular verb 'has' not 'have.'

Option B - incorrect
This sentence is too wordy even though it explains the intended meaning in a less satisfying manner.

Option C - incorrect
This uses the plural verb 'have' to modify the singular subject 'demand' which is not correct.

Option D - correct
The subject 'demand' agrees with the verb 'has' to explain the intended meaning of the sentence.

Option E - incorrect
The sentence is written as a fragment. It doesn't have a verb modifier for the subject.

"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."
