According to a recent study of consumer spending on prescription medications, increases in the sales of the 50 drugs that were advertised most heavily accounts for almost half of the $20.8 billion increase in drug spending last year, the remainder of which came from sales of the 9,850 prescription medicines that companies did not advertise or advertised very little.
(A) heavily accounts for almost half of the $20.8 billion increase in drug spending last year, the remainder of which came
(B) heavily were what accounted for almost half of the $20.8 billion increase in drug spending last year; the remainder of the increase coming
(C) heavily accounted for almost half of the $20.8 billion increase in drug spending last year, the remainder of the increase coming
(D) heavily, accounting for almost half of the $20.8 billion increase in drug spending last year, while the remainder of the increase came
(E) heavily, which accounted for almost half of the $20.8 billion increase in drug spending last year, with the remainder of it coming
I am confused between option C and option D
why not option D is the correct answer

Answer C explanation
increases in the sales of the 50 drugs that were advertised most heavily = subject
So verb accounted is right here.
the remainder is modifying the precedent clause. Here it is correct.
Answer D explanation
increases in the sales of the 50 drugs that were advertised most heavily = subject
Accounting is not correct form of verb here.
