A , B And E are eliminated since the 2 ICs cannot be joined using a comma and the necessary conjunction is missing here.
So C and D remain.
IN D - the 'they' after the comma is unnecessary and that should be the first red flag.
C has the proper grammatical construction and concise meaning.
Although not a thumb rule but a general preference rule - D uses the passive voice which is the second red flag.
Hence OA - C

In choice C, what is 'they' stand for in 'their lives are worse once ‘success’ is achieved than they were before' ?
