The source of this question is Oldy but goldy question bank in gmatclub, which itself is a collection of MGMAT and GMAT prep questions.
See sentence-correction-oldy-but-goldy-question-banks-212199.html#p1634093
Subject of the sentence is 'A company' and the sentence wants to convey that for a company to become a leading producer in computer industry, must be international, achieve a turnover...., and secure.
The words be, achieve, secure are required to be parallel, therefore, we can easily rule answer choice B.
We can also rule out C) because while creates a new clause which its not required here. A company needs to be A, B and C NOT A, B while
My issue is how to proceed further all there of the appear to be grammatically correct. Please don't tell me that you would choose A over E because E is awkward. Sorry, but that does not help. All the awkward sounding sentences have a grammatical concept behind them.

Nothing wrong with the original sentence....
To be a leading producer in the computer industry, a company must be -
(1) international,
(2) achieve a turnover that makes efficient large-scale production possible,
(3) and secure information about technical advances.
Original sentence maintains parallelism and conveys the correct meaning...

There is really no grammatical rule that would explain why "about technical advances" is better than "in regards to technical advances" and "of how to technically advance". One way to judge could be to determine the most economical way ( using minimum number of words) to express an idea.
