Posted the correct question;

A - PAY regular mail rates and MAY BE shipping (ACTIVE ...PASSIVE); such combination of active and passive not required

C- WHO wrongly used for non-human; (2) so affordable and it often must (parts connected thro AND are not parallel

D - use of PAYS incorrect (when subject is "retailers and websites")

I do not find any problem btn B and E - but WHICH is used (generally) for non-essential modifiers and therefore prefer E. Side note: OG12 does not recongnize distinction btn WHICH and THAT for non-essential modifiers

IMO E
