OPTION A:- INCORRECT
Which led to a boom in the School construction industry and also added in this option WHICH refers to Country but the original intent is to focus on the results of the program. Thus incorrect. Moreover use of AND changes the meaning.

OPTION B:- INCORRECT
Which not only led to a boom in the school construction industry, but also added.
In this option WHICH refers to country but original intent is to focus on the result of the program. Thus boom

OPTION C:- CORRECT
Not only leading to a boom in the school construction industry but also adding
Use of participle correctly explains the result of the program. Moreover, Not only X but also lists two result succinctly.

OPTION D:- INCORRECT
Leading to a boom in the school construction , which also added
In this option WHICH refers to industry. This is grammatically correct but it changes the original intent and gives another meaning to the sentence.

OPTION E:- INCORRECT
Leading to a boom in the construction industry of school, which added in this option WHICH refers to industry. This is grammatically correct but it changes the original intent. Moreover 'Construction industry of School' is awkward and lengthy.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
