According to the Better Business Bureau, if you fail to advertise the highest price in a range of prices for a service or product as prominently as that of the lowest, it violates the New York Consumer Protection Law.

(C) failure to advertise the highest price in a range of prices for a service or product as prominently as the lowest
(D) failure to advertise as prominently the highest price in a range of prices for a service or product as the lowest

OA - C Please explain why D is wrong[/spoiler]

Answer D does not use the structure "as...as" correctly. Firstly, one should state WHAT will be advertised and then HOW it will be advertised. The object of an action should follow the verb as closely as possible. This is the case in answer C.
"failure to advertise (what?) THE HIGHEST PRICE .... (how?) AS PROMINENTLY AS the lowest"
