Because..... except E, no choice compares 'commodity' with another commodity. A has subject-verb agreement problem too.

The market for recycled commodities like aluminum and other metals remain strong despite economic changes in the recycling industry.
The market => Singular
Verb => Remains

Now my question here:
C. commodities such as aluminum and other metals remains
"Such as" used to give example, so are we not giving an example here?
Moreover, Aluminium is itself a commodity so is there any need to state commodity again as in E

IMO-C

I doubt the OA
