(E) take advantage of off-season demand, to standardize
A: to sell...standardize...and to predict
D: to sell...take...and to predict
E: to sell...take...to standardize...and to predict
In each of these options, the verb form in red is not parallel with the surrounding infinitives in blue.
Eliminate A, D and E.

C: taking advantage of off-season demand, standardizing its sizes and colors
Here, the two VERBing modifiers in red cannot be connected solely by a comma.
Eliminate C.

The correct answer is B.
