Btw C and E; I opt for C.
C uses the expression: So X that Y...
The cars are so luxurious that they command a greater demand in the market- they sell.
E: in the newest models "that these cars sell" seems to suggest that the "cars" are
the agents doing the selling?
What do you think? And btw what's the OA?

Important: When a sentence begins with a with noun modifier (as it does in the above sentence), stop at the comma and ask the question that the modifier raises.nahid078 wrote:Responding to growing demand for high-end vehicles, the interiors of the newest models are

So, once we read, Responding to growing demand for high-end vehicles, we should stop and ask . . .
"Who or what is responding to growing demand for high-end vehicles?"
If the sentence is properly constructed, the part that immediately follows the comma will answer that question in a logical manner.
Reading on we get...
A the interiors...
The interiors are responding to growing demand?
Makes no sense. ELIMINATE A
B the interiors...
The interiors are responding to growing demand?
Makes no sense. ELIMINATE B
C auto makers ...
Makes sense. KEEP C
D the interior...
The interior is responding to growing demand?
Makes no sense. ELIMINATE D
E auto makers ...
Makes sense. KEEP E
Now re-check C: auto makers have installed interiors in the newest models that are so luxurious that they sell
It's not clear what they refers to.
ELIMINATE C
Answer: E
