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.

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

E fits and hence is the answer.
