B) Because many products claim that they are

grammatically I agree D is the one among the bunch. But I am not able to understand how a product can claim that it is better.
any help will be highly appreciated.

please see the link below -

https://www.hghsupplements.net/hgh-reviews/ghr-1000/

here u can find, the phrases such as "Many products claim that it can reverse the effects of aging" and "One product that promises results is GHR 1000"

u can google that phrase "many products claim" and find that it is indeed a popular phrase
