Option A: INVALID
The statement is unambiguous and explanatory but it does not conform to the summary aim of the writer nor does it, the listener and reader. It has insufficient information as to the subject matter.

Option B: INVALID
The use of the connector ''and'' makes it ambiguous and verbose but for that it'd have been nice response. it is a kind of statement that connects the two active words ''frequently scientific'' and ''sometimes concentrations as a predicate to the adverbial ''always''.

Option C: VALID
Here, the use of comma (,) means it is a continuous sentence, using the conjunction ''and'' would mean a slight disagreement would occur between the principal words.
Hence, Option C seems the most appropriate.

Option D: INVALID
This is a grammatically incorrect statement. To a layman it could be correct but linguistically it is not.''uses'' and ''adoption'' could mean the same thing in the context they have been used, touch over-specification.

Option E: INVALID
Vague, archaic, obsolete and outdated language format. It is pardonable in option D but inexcusable in further occurrence.

"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."
