(C) small cars that are more fuel-efficient than those at any other time in

(D) more fuel-efficient small cars than those at any other time in their

(E) more fuel-efficient small cars now than at any time in

i thought it was 'A'

IMO C, In A now is redundent. Today's technology can not allow manufacture of fuel efficient car of the past.

[viveksingh]

In B they seems to refer to same cars
In D, E more modifies cars not fuel efficient.

C for me too..

[Sniper]

Will pick C.

Cheers,

C for me too.
"their" in A, B and D does not sound correct.
"now" in A and E are redundant.

Vote for C

What is the Official Answer and pls tell the source of the question.

A - illogical
B - "they were at any time in their" is unidiomatic
D and E changes the meaning

I will pick 'C'

Official Answer is 'C'
the souce is some 'word' document that has like 1000 SC Questions from various sources.

i see why "A" is wrong, todays and now is redundant. however i don't understand how without the "their" the sentence makes any sense. it does not answer whose "production history" we are talking about.
however every other sentence is non sensical so had i figured out why "A" is incorrect i would have choose to go with "C".
