I will go with C. I think we are comparing two things to show the contrasting phenomena.

Engineering feats and arduous tasks. So I feel to show the contrast between these two "Although" needs to be used.

Please correct me if my reasoning is wrong. Also can I know the source of this problem ?

engineering feats is plural. So plural verb "remain" should be used. Only answer choice E corrects this error.

It should be nothing other than option E because of subject-verb error

did you transcribe the sc properly .Boring and Turning are examples of feats that the first part of the SC talks about . Therefore we need to use such as to introduce these examples .
At the same time E is the only option that uses the correct verb . But C is the only option that introduces the examples appropriately
I Seek Explanations Not Answers

Thank you. I now can see the Subject Verb agreement and will go with E.

But I still have doubts about the usage of If here. Can somebody please explain the usage of IF in this sentence please.

Thanks,
KD

+1 for E.

S-V wins over other style errors.

subject verb agreement is quite clear but the structure of the dependent clause is using the phrase
.......no less.....
and i think using "although" will be make sentence more clear.
please correct me if am wrong. this is not just about options i am asking a general question.

Example:
Although Ruchi worked hard to stood first Reshu's perseverance was no less remarkable.
Vs.
If Ruchi worked hard to stood first Reshu's perseverance was no less remarkable.

i think first one sounds better....

+ 1 for E (All others have s/v agreement issues)
Success = Max(Hardwork) + Min(Luck)
