In each of these options, the prepositional phrase in red is an adverb serving to modify
important.
Since
important refers to
benefits, the following meaning is conveyed:
HOW are the benefits IMPORTANT?
They are important TO THEMSELVES.
This meaning is nonsensical: benefits cannot consider themselves important.
Eliminate B, C and E.
D:
are offering...and let
Here,
are offering and
let are not parallel.
Eliminate D.
The correct answer is
A.
