Option A; INCORRECT
This option is lacking in substance, and lacking the information necessary to answer the question in a position that depicts strength.

Option B: INCORRECT
Here, there's a usage of a possessive firm of auxiliary verb ''being'' in the original statement under consider which firmly suggests that the option is lacking in substance.

Option C: INCORRECT
Here, the sentence construction is wrong and inept lacking in depth with the inconsistent usage of singularity and plurality. It shows there's a disagreement between the peculiar nominal subjects 'dwellings'' and ''businesses''.

Option D: CORRECT
This option as of now appears the most valid, apt and consistent, well punctuated and articulated with priority given to the nominal subjects' singularity and plurality.

Option E: INCORRECT
Here, the word distinction could prove a verbose one if not clearly explained that it's an arrangement between two lines or intangible lines buy here they are tangible ones (dwellings and businesses) which is lacking in the option.

"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."
