INCORRECT! The noun phrase "The growing acceptance by consumers" requires a singular verb, since "acceptance" is the subject.SajjadAhmad
(B) seems to indicate the ultimate popularity of the product.
INCORRECT! The best use is "Indicate that"SajjadAhmad

INCORRECT! Same as A).SajjadAhmad
(E) seems to be an indication as to the ultimately popularity of the product.
INCORRECT! Transforming the verb "indicate" into a noun "indication" leads to an awkward sentence.

Dear Friends,
Here is a detailed explanation to this question-
Choice A: In Option A, we see a clear subject-verb disagreement between the singular noun phrase "The growing acceptance by consumers" and the plural verb "seem". Thus, Option A is incorrect.
Choice B: Option B comes across as needlessly wordy, due to the use of the phrase "the ultimate popularity of the product". Thus, Option B is not a good answer choice.
Choice C: Option C maintains subject-verb agreement, conveys the intended meaning of the sentence, and is quite concise. Thus, Option C is correct.
Choice D: Option D displays the same subject-verb disagreement that Option A does. Thus, Option B is incorrect.
Choice E: Option E is highly awkward, due to the use of the phrase "indication as to the ultimately popularity of the product." Moreover, the use of the adjective "ultimately" is inappropriate here as "Ultimately", in this context, is synonymous with "eventually"; the correct adjective form to use here is "ultimate” because it means "final". Thus, Option E is incorrect.
Hence, C is the best answer choice.
All the best!
