I picked C as well, and reading this post here it seems the majority would've failed this question (https://gmatclub.com/forum/sc-interestin ... 70633.html)

the difference lies in the difference between could and would. I rejected A b/c I thought GMAT didn't like "being", but forgot that the meaning of the original sentence should not be altered.

C alters the meaning of the original sentence. "could" carries the meaning of "the ability to" while "would" carries the meaning of "desire/preference to". So C clearly changes the meaning.

D and E are wrong b/c the wrong idiom "ability for/of"
B is wrong b/c capability to is not the same as ability to

This only leave A, although a little awkward, but nonetheless grammatically correct.
