I approched the question by negation technique....
(A) "Due to" can not be replaced by "caused by", hence incorrect.
(B) " Selling more cell phones than any other company and having lowest average selling price " should have modified a noun after it, hence Nokia's here is incorrect.
(D) Highlighted part is awkward and confusing to any listener and it looks convoluted, meaning of the speaker is altered and can not be ascertained.
(E) "Selling more cell phones than any other company and also having lowest average selling price" should have modified a noun after it, hence so Nokia here is incorrect.
Thus, only (C) is left although it doesn't look good to me as well since if we remove the modifier in the middle, the options looks awkward
