This sentence compares the Engineering department with every other department because they are highly sought after and also because of their higher salaries.

Option A- INCORRECT
This option is wrong because, it uses the wrong modifier to modify the action in the first clause.

Option B- CORRECT
This option uses the correct verb modifier 'because of', it correctly states the untended meaning of the sentence.

Option C- INCORRECT
This option is wrong because, it seems like the sentence the graduates of Engineering department are the ones soughting for industries to employ them.

Option D- INCORRECT
To compare correctly in the sentence, we need a verb modifier 'because of', but the option uses a noun modifier 'due to'

Option E- INCORRECT
It uses the incorrect pronoun 'their', The noun 'engineering department' in the sentence is a singular noun so it needs a singular pronoun 'it'

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
