Cross out A,D and E because "stimuli" is countable so "number" is needed. ("stimulus" is singular and "stimuli" is plural)
Between B and C
B actually is a succint sentence while C is not.

I think infinite means countless something that can be counted but its just too much...like "the infinite ingenuity of man"; "infinite wealth"
