the correct answer is C. but in my opinion...
this choice is illogical because the verb "sold" is in the past tense. Yet it is obvious that the charity has not occurred yet and is still in the future. They "hope" that the proceeds will make 50k.
Could someone comment on this?

1st Split - A,C,D & B,E. (B,E can be eliminated for subject verb error).
2nd Split - A,C & D. (D can be eliminated for subject verb error).
Between A & C, In A,Comma after "artwork" is unnecessary. Amount to the required sum of is redundant. IMHO "sold" is not the past tense but rather it is the subjunctive.
Kudos Please... If my post helped.

why not A?
I opted for A.
Only diff between A and C is "sum of".
But according to sentence it means products A,B and C are sold with hope that it is sum of 50000?
