a)Julia, whom with single minded determination to fight against all odds has showered upon her success, fame and money, continues to impress and inspire every student who feels that his future is in jeopardy
Incorrect : "whom" is incorrect. Hence A can be ruled out in the first shot.
b)Julia, in whose single minded determination to fight against all odds has showered upon her success, fame and money, continues to impress and inspire every student who feels that his future is in jeopardy
Incorrect : Here "whose" does not indicate about the subject "Julia" . Hence can be ruled out straight forward.
c)Julia, whose single minded determination to fight against all odds have showered upon her success, fame and money, continue to impress and inspire every student who feels that his future is under jeopardy
Correct : Here "whose single............" is indicated about the subject "Julia" with a comma before whose. This ends with a comma after money. After that the subject is continued and completed.
For ex : Martin, whose humor is incredible, joins the party.
d)Julia, whose single minded determination to fight against all odds has showered upon her success, fame and money, continues to impress and inspire every student who feels that his future is in jeopardy
Incorrect : "future" is abstract noun - we can't touch or feel future. So how can "future" be in something? Not possible
e)Julia, whose single minded determination to fight against all odds have showered upon her success, fame and money, continues to impress and inspire every student who feels that his future is in jeopardy
Incorrect: same reason as D
The OA is C
but we cannot say- His future is in a trouble/Jeopardy.
Future is an abstract noun here
we should say - his future is under trouble.
Hope this helps!

lets break the whole sentence in parts:
Julia, whose single minded determination to fight against all odds has showered upon her success, fame and money >> correct modifier.. its not all odds but her single minded determination...so SV agreement, fits the bill.
continues to impress and inspire every student who feels that his future is in jeopardy>> perfect use of modifier..it is Julia who continues to impress and inspire every student >> perfect comparison of items on both side and hence forming perfect parallelism.

For answer choice C, what is the subject that goes with "continue?" Presumably it's Julia, which means we have a singular subject (Julia) with a plural verb (continue).
Also, I'm assuming that his refers to every student. I doubt that the GMAT test developer would use a masculine pronoun in this situation, since students can be both male and female.

So I put the question here and same confusion goes on whether the ans is 'C' or 'D'.
Well according to me 'C' is correct if continue is changed to continues which you have clearly pointed out.
I am also a bit confused with the ans 'D', whether has / have is correct.
Brent will you throw some light on this and can give what could be the correct sentence assuming 'none of these' is correct.
Actually I found this question when I was trying one of the test on complore. I was very confused in this question whether the correct answer would be 'C' or 'D' . They give the answer as 'D'. but I was not satisfied, so I try to find the question on other forums and ultimately I got the ans as 'C'.What is the source of this question? It can't be an official GMAT question.
