Modern Technology allows manufacturers to make computers faster now than at any other time human's have known.
A - computers faster now than at any other time
B - computers that are faster than they were at any other time
C - computers that are faster than those at any other time
D - faster computers than those at any other time
E - faster computers now than at any other time
I chose D but its wrong.
Am I making a mistake in identifying what the sentence is implying? Is it that computers are being made at a faster rate or that the computers made now are faster ?

Here, it is not crystal clear whether the referent for those is manufacturers or computers, allowing for the following interpretations:
Modern technology allows manufacturers to make faster computers than MANUFACTURERS at any other time could make computers.
Modern technology allows manufacturers to make faster computers than COMPUTERS at any other time were fast.
C: Modern Technology allows manufacturers to make computers that are faster than those at any other time.
Here, it is crystal clear that the referent for those is COMPUTERS, allowing for only one interpretation:
Modern technology allows manufacturers to make COMPUTERS that are faster than COMPUTERS at any other time were fast.

what is wrong with A and B?
I'm no expert, just trying to work on my skills. If I've made any mistakes please bear with me.
