Shoppers in sporting goods stores, unlike in department stores, do very little impulse shopping, not buying a pair of skis and a boomerang when they come in for a basketball, but they leave with a basketball only.
A.in department stores, do very little impulse shopping, not buying a pair of skis and a boomerang when they come in for a basketball, but they leave with a basketball only
B.in department stores, shop impulsively very little; someone who comes in for a basketball will leave with a basketball only and not also buy a pair of skis and a boomerang as well
C.those in department stores, do very little impulse shopping, do not buy a pair of skis and a boomerang when they come in for a basketball, but leave with only a basketball
D.those in department stores, do very little impulse shopping; someone who comes in for a basketball will leave with a basketball only and not buy a pair of skis and a boomerang as well
E.department stores, shop impulsively very little; someone will not buy a pair of skis and a boomerang when they come in for a basketball but will leave with only a basketball

I can answer this question correctly, but I am not convinced with the logics that are coming to my mind. I was fighting with D and C.
Why should we choice D and why should we eliminate C?
Please don't say just "awkward".
My analogy:
C:
Shoppers in sporting goods stores do very little impulse shopping, do not buy a pair of skis and a boomerang when they come in for a basketball, but leave with only a basketball.
Here, we can say a same sentence in the following way:
I go to the pizza hut, eat pizza, but leave without taking some of pizza.
Since it is a list of three activities, we should use "AND" in place of "but". I think that option c is wrong due to the use of "but" in place of "AND".
Guys, do you have any other explanation about C?\
Thanks.
