In Sweden, a non-profit association is an organization dedicated to either the welfare of its members or the public interest having at least three founders and earns no financial profit.

(A) an organization dedicated to either the welfare of its members or the public interest having at least three founders and earns no financial profit
having seems to modify public interest which is non sensical

(B) one that earns no financial profit with at least three founders and is dedicated to either the welfare of its members or the public interest
with changes the intended meaning of the sentence

(C) an organization with at least three founders, earns no financial profit, and is dedicated to either the welfare of its members or the public interest
Correct

(D) one that has at least three founders, is dedicated to either the welfare of its members or the public interest, and earns no financial profit
Usage of one doesn't clearly tells us that its an organisation

(E) one that has at least three founders, no financial profit, and it is dedicated to either the welfare of its members or the public interest
If the sentence starting with it is ... is an independent clause, then three founders and no financial profit should be joined by an and

B - (1) modifier issue - a phrase "with...founders" is incorrectly placed, (2) Parallelism issue. Incorrect.
C - (1) parallelism issue - the stem is not structured appropriately for all 3 clauses. Incorrect.
D - (1) parallelism - structure is correct with that + verb in all 3 clauses. Structure ✅.

(A) an organization dedicated to either the welfare of its members or the public interest having at least three founders and earns no financial profit.
This option suffers from a lack of parallel structure. It combines two distinct ideas with different structures: "an organization dedicated to either the welfare of its members or the public interest having at least three founders" and "earns no financial profit." It also lacks clarity as to what the subject of the sentence is.

(B) one that earns no financial profit with at least three founders and is dedicated to either the welfare of its members or the public interest.
This choice lacks proper parallel structure. It combines "earns no financial profit" with "is dedicated to either the welfare of its members or the public interest." The sentence would flow better if it used parallel phrases for the criteria of being a non-profit association.

(C) an organization with at least three founders, earns no financial profit, and is dedicated to either the welfare of its members or the public interest.
This choice uses a repetitive structure with "an organization with" before each criterion. It would be more concise and clear to have a single subject at the beginning of the sentence.

(D) one that has at least three founders, is dedicated to either the welfare of its members or the public interest, and earns no financial profit.
This choice provides a clear and concise expression of the definition of a non-profit association in Sweden. It uses a parallel structure to list the criteria for being a non-profit association: "has at least three founders," "is dedicated to either the welfare of its members or the public interest," and "earns no financial profit." This option effectively conveys the required information in a grammatically correct and coherent manner.

(E) one that has at least three founders, no financial profit, and it is dedicated to either the welfare of its members or the public interest.
This choice lacks parallel structure and includes an unnecessary pronoun "it" before "is dedicated to either the welfare of its members or the public interest."

Correct choice is Option D

the splits are
1. an vs one :
2. List of conditions and its order
3. Parallelism

start with non-underlined words a ("a non-profit association is") so another 'an' can not be used and use of One is preferred.

@brunnel I am not sure why I didnt get kudos for this one. The answer is correct and explanation is correct as well.

Hi gmatophobia, I totally get your reasoning. It is me who should have been more careful. In any case thanks for Kudos Point. I know with My ranking it is not possible to get any rewards and there is no way I can break into the top 10 of the runner-up team. But this is the last day and I still want to give it a go. thanks again.

Can't we split the choice (C) by putting 'non-profit association' as subject for all the other verbs in the list. It will make the sentence structure parallel, and I don't any issue with this structure.

A non-profit association is an organization with at least three founders,
A non-profit association earns no financial profit, and
A non-profit association is dedicated to either the welfare of its members or the public interest.

Can anyone help where I'm wrong.

In option C we have "is an organization with at least 3 founders", can we not consider this 'is' parallel to rest of the words in the list like 'earns' and 'is dedicated'? Why are we considering 'with' as the first element here and not 'is an organization' ??
