GMATNinja EducationAisle IanStewart Can I eliminate option C for the reason that it uses a comma before "and" to connect list of two items and what follows "and" is not an Independent Clause?

The right answer to an official SC question will, of course, never misuse a comma. But I doubt I'd ever look at comma usage to actually rule out a wrong answer, in part because commas are often optional, but more importantly because there will always be a much better reason to rule out a bad answer. There are maybe four other reasons to rule out C here (the most important being that it doesn't even make sense) that are far more important than the extraneous comma.

A. has allowed the manufacturing company to lower its projected losses for the second quarter, and they are forecasting - singular verb has is incorrect for compound subject "Cost cutting and restructuring"
B. has allowed for the manufacturing company to lower its projected losses in the second quarter and to forecast - singular verb has is incorrect for compound subject "Cost cutting and restructuring"
C. have allowed that the manufacturing company can lower the projected losses for the second quarter, and to forecast - "can lower…" and "to forecast" are not in parallel form
D. have allowed the manufacturing company to lower its projected second-quarter losses and to forecast - correct as "have" is the correct verb and "to lower and to forecast" are in parallel
E. have allowed for the manufacturing company to lower the projected losses in the second quarter, as well as forecasting - to lower… and as well as forecasting.... are not in parallel form.
