its circulation should be in last due to parallelism with its advertising...A,B,E out

D looks awkward


C is the answer.Hope it helps

Hi,

I worked on this question exactly the opposite way.As in 'its circulation' should be in start.Plz explain why it should be in end.

I looked for something like:
the magazine increased its circulation..blah blah and its advertsing blah blah(if any).

Thanks in advance!

I think apart from Parallelism

"Increased" is redundant.

e:g: Magazine circulation increased to double

Magazine circulation doubled

latter one is more concise.
