Explanation:
Here main subject 'they' vs snack comparison is being done.Hence we need an entity immediately after preceding clause which is logically comparable to Snacks.
A-Incorrect.illogical comparison between fat & snack.Also parallalism error between clauses.
B-Same as A
C-Correct choice. Logical comparison between nuts & snacks,correct usage of mostly as an adverb.Monosaturated fat is correctly modifying the last appositive phrase.
D-Although logical comparison between nuts & snacks, but the usage of "the most" is awkward as superlative form is not required here.Option C obviously looks better construction.
E- Pronoun antecedent error for they in current option,whether they is referring to snacks or the subject
Hence C is the correct answer.
