Sentence Correction

While the owner of a condominium apartment has free and clear title to the dwelling, owners of cooperative apartments have shares in a corporation that owns a building and leases apartments to them.
(A) While the owner of a condominium apartment has free and clear title to the dwelling,
(B) The owner of a condominium apartment has free and clear title to the dwelling, but
(C) Whereas owners of condominium apartments have free and clear title to their dwellings,
(D) An owner of a condominium apartment has free and clear title to the dwelling, whereas
(E) Condominium apartment owners have a title to their dwelling that is free and clear, while

(c)

this is the only option that is parallel to the later half of the sentence ie.
'owners of cooperative apartments have '

whats the answer to this question

I'd say D.

I don't think it's C b/c placing "whereas" at the beginning of the sentence creates an awkward construction.

Yeah C it is, for 2 reasons

1) right comparison - owners with owners
2) Right sub verb agreement - owners of condominium apartments have

yup C..
