IMO: E

A - incorrect
B & D - by a year earlier is incorrrect.
C - "to introduce" - the infinitive form seems incorrect here

E sounds like the only correct option to me..Purely by POE..

Thoughts from others??

What's the OA??

underline the problem correctly.

Even you have not given the A, so how to know what part is underlined.

a.A year advantage in a new computer product or process being introduced incorrect
b. Introducing a new computer product or process by a year earlier incorrect , by a year earlier is not correct
c. A year's advantage to introduce a new computer product or process incorrect year's is wrong

d. To introduce a new computer product or process by a year earlier incorrect , by a year earlier is not correct

e. Being a year ahead in introducing a new computer product or process though it uses Being, but its makes more sense in terms of understanding and grammar. hence this is the winner
