OPTION A- INCORRECT
Using "do" here overemphasized the intention of the author. Also, the use of "not any" appears tautological in that they are used in this context as negative words. Another point is the whole statement being a repetition of the statement in the original question.

OPTION B- INCORRECT
we can rate the option as near-correct although the preposition "to" and the verb "be" makes it a bit overemphasized.

OPTION C- CORRECT
Which i regard as the best fit because its short, accurate and precise bearing all the needed information required. May be regarded as the most correct.

OPTION D- INCORRECT
Here, we only changed the adjective that qualifies the noun or pronoun in which case "themselves". No extra information to distinguish this option from that in Option A.

OPTION E- INCORRECT
This would have also been appropriate but for the emphasis on the pronoun "themselves" which is being qualified by the verb "being". Again, a case of unnecessary use of words disqualifies this option.

"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."
