I will suggest u to cut down A and B as they are making a comparison between plural and singular object. E is not having the correct construction of sentence and wrong meaning to intend. Now come C and D. In D, it is meant that each side is creating difficulties for each other. But that is not true. So the best answer is C. So what do say guys? Am I in the correct track?
