Curious to know what the source of this question is. Actually official questions are never in first person and both C and E use first person.

Couple of things that go against E:

1. In GMAT, a comma always precedes which (when which is used as a relative pronoun). This gives an easy way to eliminate E.

2. E says: makes it difficult for we, but it should be makes it difficult for us. Again, the easy way to remember this is that for is a preposition and the object form of pronouns (us in this case) should be used after preposition, not the subject form (we in this case).

I can tell you right now this isn't an OG question. Why do people waste their time with ridiculous questions from other sources? If the question doesn't come from the OG or a top prep company don't do it and don't post it on here. I would go C but us to me is completely ambiguous.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
