IMO C looks best...

We need that...so D, E = wrong...

aim at = wrong...since aim at = targetted at......so A, B = wrong....

we need aim to....or intended to....

but shouldn't in C we should have profiting instead of profit in C...

I was almost going for C when I saw "profit"

This makes C wrong.

IMO-A

1.We need "that" for the essential clause.
2. If "from profiting" is not there, I will go with "to profit by the sale"

Left with A and B

With B

b. that aims at the prevention of people convicted by federal crimes to profit

I really don't like the structure of the sentence.

Hi Karan,

As per my understanding aim at = targetted at
aim to = purpose of.

IMO it is not correct to targetted at in A, B....isn't usage of aim at incorrect here ? Please tell what I am missing here ?

e.g. He aimed at bull's eye.(target)
He aim to become a doctor.(purpose)

Plus you are "convicted of" not "convicted by"...

That aims at [u]preventing[/u] people convicted by federal crimes to [u]profit [/u]

Also preventing and profit aren't parallel except B
