OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
Prior to every presidential election, each of the presidential candidates is running a massive promotion campaign, costing millions of dollars, in order to win the votes of citizens.
A. each of the presidential candidates is running a massive promotion campaign
Incorrect.
This answer choice is grammatically incorrect. It uses the Present Progressive, which is a tense used to denote an action that is in progress at present. However, this does not agree with the beginning of the sentence, which states that the action occurs prior to every presidential elections.
B. every presidential candidate is running a massive promotion campaign
Incorrect.
This answer choice repeats the original mistake. It uses the Present Progressive, which is a tense used to denote an action that is in progress at present. However, this does not agree with the beginning of the sentence, which states that the action occurs prior to every presidential elections.
C. every presidential candidate runs a massive promotion campaign
This answer choice correctly uses the Present Simple to describe a habitual action, one that occurs at a certain frequency, that is, prior to every presidential election.
D. a massive promotion campaign is being run by each of the presidential candidates
Incorrect.
This answer choice repeats the original mistake. It uses the Present Progressive, which is a tense used to denote an action that is in progress at present. However, this does not agree with the beginning of the sentence, which states that the action occurs prior to every presidential elections.
Furthermore, this answer is stylistically flawed. Changing the sentence to passive results in expressing the original meaning in more words, creating redundancy.
E. each of the presidential candidates is campaigning massively
Incorrect.
This answer choice repeats the original mistake. It uses the Present Progressive, which is a tense used to denote an action that is in progress at present. However, this does not agree with the beginning of the sentence, which states that the action occurs prior to every presidential elections.

The structure of the sentence intends to specify a general trend for which use of Simple present tense is appropriate.
Rest of the options are in present continuous form and hence incorrect.
