(A) economic inefficiency, to which they will then generate solutions; their aim is mainly creating
Mainly is modifying creating, and there's a slight change in meaning between "creating" and "to create". Here "to create" should be used.
(B) economic inefficiency, then generating solutions to them; mainly to create
There's no verb in Then clause.
(C) economic inefficiency and then generate solutions to them; the analysts' main aim is to create
Generate is a verb, "to create" is also used. Looks good.
(D) economic inefficiency as well as generating solutions to them; their main aim is creation of
Awkward on first glimpse. "Then" is absent.
(E) economic inefficiency and generating solutions to them; mainly, the analysts' aim is creating
There's no verb in Then clause.
IMO Option C

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
C
There are two places in the sentence to focus on: the area around "generating solutions", and the first few words after the semi-colon. The latter might be a bit easier. A phrase that follows a semi-colon must be a complete sentence, so (B) is incorrect: "Mainly to create a system. . ." is not a complete sentence. Several other choices have problems in that area as well. (A) has the adverb "mainly" in the wrong place. 'Main" should modify "aim". The sentence is trying to point out the analysts' central goal. The idea of "main creation" doesn't quite make sense, and it certainly isn't what the sentence is trying to get across. (D) is missing a word for clarity: It should read, "their main aim is the creation of". (E) also has an error here: the aim is "to create", not creating. To say that the "aim is creating" means something else, that the aim itself (the fact that analysts have a certain goal) is creating a certain system. (C) is the only remaining choice.
