A year advantage in a new computer product or process being introduced can give a company a significant edge on its competitors.

A. A year advantage in a new computer product or process being introduced
B. Introducing a new computer product or process by a year earlier
C. A year's advantage to introduce a new computer product or process
D. To introduce a new computer product or process by a year earlier
E. Being a year ahead in introducing a new computer product or process

my reasoning

A "A year advantage" is vague. Also, the phrases before and after "or" are not parallel..........eliminated
B - "Introducing" is not the best word to use here. "To introduce" sounds better.........eliminated
C - "A year's advantage" is illogical. A year cannot have an advantage............eliminated
D - infinitive not sure.....eliminated
E - being....eliminated

so wat left do we have F,G or H or another set of A,B,C,D and E probabily with a correct option
