The idiom is "cite X as Y"

Sometimes it is reversed because the reversing becomes necessary. In this sentence, cite as Y X has been used because X has modifier.

Example:

They have cited the book that has been awarded in the national book fair as the best one.

--> Look cited X as Y----X has been modified by a that clause. AS Y has been placed very far from "the book". One may misread "the national book fair as the best one". Actually it is the book that has been cited as the best one.

For this reason the above sentence has been structured in that way.

Answer is C.

Thanks.

"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."
