IMO A...

OA?

[mbadrew]

A and that's my final answer!

[blackarrow]

My answer is A

Whats the OA

[mbadrew]

OK, here's why I think it should be A.

B&C use the to be for regard, which is an improper idiom.
D uses being, which is generally wrong on the GMAT.
E is confusing and it sounds as if both golf players are modifying the precedent.
