To tower over means to be taller.
A, B and E: apartments towering a hundred feet over
Not the intended meaning.
The APARTMENTS themselves are not 100 feet taller.
Rather, the BUILDING with the apartments is 100 feet taller.
Eliminate A, B and E.

STAY IN ONE TENSE unless a change in tense is required.
D: moneyed professionals have embraced a modern design ethic that accentuated their luxury-laden lives
Here, there is no reason to switch from the PRESENT PERFECT (have embraced) to the PAST (accentuated).
Eliminate D.

The correct answer is C.

Hi Mitch,

What is the difference between 'By choosing' and 'In choosing'??
I feel 'in choosing'is incorrect.'By choosing' describes how professionals have embraced....

Can you clarify please??
