We are comparing profits of this year vs profits of last year.
Wrong comparison, Profits are compared to year. Hence A,B & E are out.
(A) higher than last year, we have expanded into new markets, and we have also hired more employees.
(B) higher than last year, expanded into new markets, and hired more employees.
(E) higher than the previous year, we have expanded into new markets, and we have hired more employees.
B/w C & D
(C) higher than last year's profits, we have expanded into new markets, and we have hired more employees. Who does we refer to??
(D) higher than last year's profits, expanded into new markets, and hired more employees. What's expanded?? Profits??
Modifier error.
I know C is not a perfect choice, But it is better than D.
Hence C.

A, B & E can be eliminated because the comparison profits with the year is illogical.
D can be eliminated because the list does not make sense; all the elements within the list must be logical with the introduction
Let's check answer choice D
My company's profits this year (are higher than last year's profits, expanded into new markets, and hired more employees).
My company's profits this year are higher than last year's profits -> good
My company's profits this year expanded into new markets -> how can profits expand?
My company's profits this year hired more employee -> profits cannot hire s.th.
So: only c can be correct
D can be eliminated because the list does not make sense; all the elements within the list must be logical with the introduction
