Are you sure D is correct becoz I thought "Manolo Blahniks" refers to shoes which can be counted. So amount is not correct

D is the answer printed in the book but it well may just a misprint.

I don't understand why C is incorrect.

and I thought Monalo Blahniks were paintings. :o

imo E

C is also incorrect as it considers Monalo Blahniks as singular by using 'is'. The second sentence uses 'their' (plural) to refer back to Monalo Blahniks.

I think one of the problem with 'C" is the use of verb "is" ?

the amount of is correct coz MB is a thing and there is increase in the number of MB sold, go we use 'greater' when we take numbers in account.

Manolo Blahniks

Is it used as a plural or singular noun in this sentence ?
