Official Explanation
(A) This answer choice is stylistically flawed. Using both Although and yet, which are both opposition words, creates Redundancy. The use of a Double conjunction is one of the specific redundancies that should always be corrected.
What helps us identify this Redundancy is the following Stop Sign:
Though/Although/Even though/Despite/In spite of... later followed by but/yet/however/still/nevertheless
(B) This answer choice corrects the original Double Conjunction error by removing one of the conjunctions (yet).
(C) Although this answer choice corrects the original Double Conjunction error by removing one of the opposition conjunctions, it is grammatically incorrect. The relative clause that is most loved by children describes the noun that appears immediately before it, namely, the food products. Since the food products is plural, the verb that follows it also needs to be plural. However, is is singular.
(D) Same as A
(E) Although this answer choice corrects the original Double Conjunction error by removing one of the conjunctions, it is grammatically incorrect. The relative clause that is most loved by children describes the noun that appears immediately before it, namely, the food products.
