OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
A is incorrect because it employs a nonparallel construction with “to settle” and “facing.” In B, “have opted settling” is unidiomatic. D and E both incorrectly use the past perfect tense (“had opted”), which is inappropriate because the introductory clause “over the last few years” implies that the action in question began in the past and has continued into the present; past perfect is used for actions that terminated in the past. C is the best answer.
ANSWER: C
