IMO B.

A - I think it is wrong because Paper market is growing faster than it is for all other major Products.- Other makes the difference.

C , D , E are out . Because It /It's doesnt have a Proper referent i.e. Paper or wood .

I am stuck between B and A.

IMO A.

WE are comparing market for paper and market for all major wood products

"Other" in B adds redundancy

C, D and E -all suffer from pronoun refernce errors




IMO B

In A, The clause after "And" has 2 subjects market and paper and one pronoun.

Each pronoun should have an unique and clear antecedent

Secondly, "Other "makes it specific that except wood all other major products

Infact, A makes an ambiguous comparison. It indicates

a. paper with major wood products ( excluding paper)

b. paper with major wood products ( inccluding paper)

OA is B

but it is still confusing. But anyway, A sounds right too.
