Here, we take a look at the multiple options with a view to picking the best fit among the array of options available.

In Option A - INCORRECT.
Here, we have a case of plagiarize response to a question raised and expected to be answered in other forms though still retaining its components meaning.

In Option B - INCORRECT.
Here, there's a case of word replacement. The preposition ''by'' is being replaced with a demonstrative pronoun ''that'' which doesn't apply really in the statement for the flow.

In Option C - CORRECT.
Here, the writer is telling us that there's a reservation by a particular group about the subject matter at hand. The component parts of the statement are in agreement with each other and thus makes it the correct option.

In Option D - INCORRECT.
''Concern of'' means the group have a responsibility which they must take care of. It doesn't flow with contextually because they are only raising people's awareness about the petrochemical process.

In Option E - INCORRECT.
Here, there is a proper flow just that the article ''the'' does not add any extra information to the subject matter. Clearly not enough to sway anyone.

"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."
