Option A :- Incorrect
The use of the plural verb have in this option makes it a wrong choice of answer.
Obsession should attract a singular verb.

Option B :- correct
This option follows proper parallelism and verb agreement.
Verb is is in agreement with a market
Also, the use of singular verb has makes it a right choice of option. The use of right tensing makes this option unique too i.e (Is bringing)

Option C :- Incorrect
This option does not follow sentence structure bring is a plural verb and it is not accord with subject. This makes this option incorrect.

Option D :- Incorrect
This option is incorrect because of the incorrect use of plural verb have which is not in agreement with the subject that that proceeds it.

Option E :- Incorrect
There is also a problem of Subject - verb agreement here because market does not agree with bring, It should have been market bring

"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."
