IMO C
Tough between A & C.
But I chose C. C has perfect parallelism. A also has parallelism but placement of "businesses in the advertising industry" in the last alters the order of first part.
Also C has active voice while A has passive.

We dont need a modifier to start this sentence. A & B are wrong
Among C D E, C is parallel and uses active voice through out.
Between smaller and lower, smaller wins because the countable % of budgets is smaller/greater than another countable % of budgets not lower/higher
