should be E.

market is singulare : so we need remains.

Out of C and E.

aluminium is not commodities.


it should be commodities of aluminum.
Also you can see the difference between such as and like.

the Sentence says : commodities like commodities of Al, remains....which means commodities other than AL, but similar to AL.

in case of Such as, it will mean
commodities including AL...
so C is out because of this as well.
