Meaning analysis-
There are women with certain characteristics whose needs for info go unnoticed.

Error Analysis
With needs for- modifies women with the characteristics, but doesnt fit ith the remaining 'relevant info....'

Option Anlysis-
E fits in bang on

In this question, the decision markers are:
(1) Pronoun vs. Preposition vs. Verb
(2) Need vs. Needs

First, in Clause 1 "There are...crave" women is the main subject. So, in Clause 2 "But....publishers" we must also have a subject. The non-underlined part has no reference to the subject women. Therefore, the underlined part must include a subject. We can see there are 3 options with a pronoun - Option C, D & E. We eliminate Option A & B without a pronoun.

Second, we notice that the main verb of Clause 2 "need/needs" is in the underlined portion. Who does need(s) refer to? Women in Clause 1. While women is a plural noun in general, here in this case women are referred collectively as a group. The author is not referring to all women, he is referring to a group of women who have money and buying power. By using "with money and buying power that advertiser's crave" he has created a restrictive clause. Therefore, women here is a singular noun and we must use a singular verb "needs" to go with it. Option C & D both use plural form of the verb. Therefore, we can eliminate C & D.

The correct answer is Option E.

Second clause shown in blue color, needs a subject which may be a pronoun as well so A and B are eliminated.

C does not fit into the meaning of sentence so eliminated.

D does not agree in S-V number. It should be their needs for

E fits and hence is the answer.
