idiom + parallelism + critical reading.
I'm confused. I don't understand, how to find any grammatical mistake in the original sentence.
So let's have a look on choices.
A, B, and C are start with TO.
C and D are start with AND
Which is correct? Ranging from X to Y is correct. (Like I travelled from London to Paris). Not from London and Paris. (Little hint)
C and D are OUT.
Let's take B.
"to the shortage of regulations to protect investors and in others a serious lack of information about investments"
I would like to protect a serious lack of information about investment in others.
I would like to protect in others a serious lack of information about investment. // Sounds awkward. I'm unable to comprehend it.
B is also OUT.
And similarly E.
What remains?
Only A
