(B) takes for particular interactions and intergroup relationships in general differs in fundamental ways

I'm happy to help with this

What's the source of this? I wonder if the author meant "intragroup", rather than "intergroup" --- very different.

Split #1: the verb take/takes. The subject is "majority and minority group members", a plural subject in any sense, so we need the plural verb. On this basis, we can eliminate (A) & (B).

Split #2: idiom --- one takes a perspective "on" something, not "for" something. On this basis, we can eliminate (B) & (C).

Split #3: the verb differ/differs. The subject is "perspective", which is singular, so we need a singular verb --- "differs". On this basis, we can eliminate (A) & (C) & (E).

The only remaining answer is [spoiler](D)[/spoiler]

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
