I would also pick AC "C" as we are trying to contrast the two different types of software.
In my opinion "whereas" does the best job of doing exactly that, with A being the closest contender.

Most large companies prefer customized computer software because it can be molded to fit the way a company does business, when off-the-shelf software often requires the company to alter its procedures to fit the software.

(A) when
(B) since
(C) whereas
(D) because
(E) insofar as


The question tests one's understanding of the sentence. Here the only answer that will make sense is C because C shows the comparison between customized CS and Off the shelf software

Most large companies prefer X software because of Y reason, whereas Z software requires ABC.

Try to replace other answer choices at place of "whereas", they will seem faulty.
