Going by the OA, does 'less related' and 'unrelated' mean the same?

TIA,

increasingly should modify unrelated
thus E is incorrect.

What about the question that Gmatkiss mentioned
Unrelated is not same as less related ?
From that perpective C is wrong.

a) the creation of new divisions that are, increasingly, less related Less related? Don't we need a comparative word here?

b) the creation of new divisions that are increasingly less related : Less related? Don't we need a comparative word here?

c) create new divisions that are increasingly unrelated : yes. I went with this.

d) be increasingly less related while creating new divisions: Changes the meaning

e) increasingly create new divisions with less relation: Changes the meaning.
