IMO A.
B, I think does a an incorrect comparison, compares highest vs lowest price, where as it should compare the prominence of advertising for high/low prices
C,D,E i think contain dangling modifiers.

what about the comparison?redmark wrote:A) is incorrect since "it" cannot refer to "fail to advertise".
So answer choices A) and B) are out.
Among choices C), D), and E), C) I think it's C).
Idiomatic sequence of words "as prominently as"
in C, we compare "advertisement..." with "lowest"

D, E change the meaning
"it" has no logical referent in A, B
So, C is correct choice
