I am going with [spoiler](E)[/spoiler]

[wawatan]

b for me.

[dextar]

OA is C. Kindly explain me

[barron]

consider should be used idiomatically
this rules out A,B and D

C seems veryx wordy and awkward
E is the only answer that properly gives the contrast and is concise

[reetchatha]

Choice e seems to be refering to brown rice as a delicacy. In choice C, the intention is clearly brought out.

[tar.goyal]

The correct ans is C.

A, B, D are out because they are idiomatically incorrect.
in E, 'Though virtually unavailable outside Yokohama' seems to be wrongly modifying most Japanese, so E is also oout of consideration.

Please correct me if I am wrong!

[ektamatta]

Answer 'c' is correct because it used the right idiom ''considered''...considered should not be used with as. and also choice 'c' is clearly defined
