hmmm.. tough one. 
I like B

I eliminated A, D,E as we need to use  we  as the later part of the sentence uses we ( or we can choose to guide the group  ).

Between B and C, I prefer B. I think it might have an implied  we are  between While and leaders

While (we are) leaders, we can decide ....

B.
Poorly constructed sentence, but off the lot B looks ok.
We need 'we' for parallelism and leaders to match 'we', so B.

I somehow prefer C because the sentence talks about "the" group. I believe it is better to have one such leader for a group. However, I wonder what concept this question is testing

Have to agree with C. "We" is needed to offset it later in the sentence. "While leaders" doesn't seem to agree unless you make some assumptions as to what the sentense is implying.

HongHu · Answer

Agree it's a choice bt (B) and (C). I'd probably choose B just to be safe.

i got this question mailed probably from gmat secreats or something like that........................ i am still puzzled.

qhoc0010 · Answer

I picked (B) too, just to be safe as that I would do in the real test.

I expect this question from Arco, Barrons, crack-gmat or GMAT secret.

MA · Answer

Guys, OA is B .

could you guys (nocils, vprabhala, maaverick, qhoc0010, honghu, and prep-gmat) pls. explain/clearify your answer?

sonaketu · Answer

between B & C, B sounds better because singular noun doesn't match with "we can decide", it should be leaders and not a leader
