Considering the necessity for a new benchmarking policy, Brownstone Inc assessed an innovative methodology to monitor its competitors' progress, compare market behaviors, and indicate whether it should conduct routine surveys of companies in other markets.

A. to monitor its competitors' progress, compare market behaviors, and indicate
B. monitoring its competitors' progress, compared market behaviors, and indicated
C. to monitor its competitors' progress, and it compared market behaviors indicating
D. monitoring its competitors' progress and comparing market behaviors indicating
E. to monitor its competitors' progress and compare market behaviors, indicating

OA: A

P.S: I'm stuck between A & E (albeit more inclined to A but need some solid reasons to eliminate E).
@Experts - could you please share your detail analysis.Much thanks in advance.

Brownstone Inc assessed an innovative methodology to monitor its competitors' progress.
This sentence conveys an illogical meaning.
The purpose of the assessment was not TO MONITOR the progress of Brownstone's competitors.
Rather, Brownstone ASSESSED the methodology in order to determine the SUITABILITY of the methodology.
