OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
“Score” is a single noun, so the statements “score … were rising” in A and “score … were up” in D suffer from noun-verb agreement errors. The constructions “as …, with” in B and “with …, and” in E do not convey the causal relationship between the first and second clauses of the sentence that the statements imply, so these choices are inferior to C, which is grammatically and stylistically acceptable.
