A. commodities like aluminum and other metals remain
B. commodities like those of aluminum and other metals are remaining
C. commodities such as aluminum and other metals remains
D. commodities, such as aluminum and other metals, remain
E. commodities, like the commodities of aluminum and other metals, remains

IMO - C

Here are the reasons:

The market - singular hence remains is correct.

Narrowed down to C and E. E is comparing market to the commodities of AL and other metals which is incorrect. Hence the other option wins.

I think even if the search button were in 890-point font, it wouldn't get used. It's just the nature of internet forums, I think.

I just wanted to add that commodities like aluminum and other metals remains would have been an evil answer choice because it is grammatically correct and possible, if we were discussing commodities like but not including aluminum and other metals, such as paper perhaps. The GMAT does need a statistically significant number of people to get the question right, though, and doesn't need the hassle of the complaints they'd get if they included both that answer and C.
