The pigments used in modern oil paints are different than the
ones used in older paints because they are more lightfast and
vibrant.
A are different than the ones used in older paints because they
are
B differ from those used in older paints in that the modern ones
are
C are different than those used in older paints because the
modern ones are
D are different from the ones used in older paints on account of
being
E differ from the ones used in older paints because they are


OA : B

Can someone please tell me why E is incorrect.

E is incorrect for two reasons:
1. 'they' is ambiguous. It could refer to pigments or modern paints or older paints
2. 'Because' indicates cause-and-effect relation. We are not establishing why these two are different. We are just pondering how these two are different. 'in that' serves the purpose.

Can someone please tell me the difference between B and C and why one is correct and the other is wrong?

C is incorrect because of 'different than'. than is used with comparative words such as taller, more, smaller. Correct idiom is 'different from' or 'differ from'. Hence B is correct.
