A. of less than three hundred thousand dollars and fewer-I think lesser would be more appropriate as we are using "fewer" with subscribers.

B. lower than three hundred thousand dollars and less

C. lesser than three hundred thousand dollars and fewer-Most appropriate.

D. fewer than three hundred thousand dollars and less

E. of fewer than three hundred thousand dollars and of fewer -fewer not appropriate
IMO C is the answer.
It takes time and effort to explain, so if my comment helped you please press Thanks button :)
