[A] in effect manufacturing its own antifreeze.

effectively manufacturing antifreeze of its own.

[C] in effect manufacturing their own antifreeze.

[D] so that they manufacture their own antifreeze.

[E] thus the manufacture of its own antifreeze.


The given OA is C.

Kindly note that we come down to the options C and D in this question due to the following:

Wrong subject verb agreement.

between C and D, D is wrong because of delivering a wrong meaning. the thing is not done for the purpose of manufacture of their antifreeze.

I hope this helps.
