It takes time and effort to explain, so if my comment helped you please press Thanks button :)



Just because something is hard doesn't mean you shouldn't try,it means you should just try harder.

I think its E. If you remove the modifier ", a list that is reused after a few years," and read the sentence it looks complete.
