(A) all seeking to meet consumer needs and wants more successfully than each other
INCORRECT; SVA Error

(B) all seeking more successfully to meet consumer needs and wants than the others
INCORRECT; SVA Error

(C) each seeking to meet consumer needs and wants more successfully than one another
INCORRECT; "one another" also includes the company under discussion. one seeks more success than another/other and not itself

(D) each seeking to meet consumer needs and wants more successfully than the others
CORRECT
(E) each seeking more successfully to meet consumer needs and wants than another
INCORRECT; not the intended meaning; we need "success"; wants what?
