You guys got it.I was narrowed down to A nd C as i got the idiom interest in. Then i picked A.

 

Ram! why are u saying "In Reference" is incorrect? Is it unidiomatic or since this sentence is present continuous, using "In reference" is wrong.

 

Can u please clarify.

 

BTW OA is C

"In reference to" is a prepositional phrase which means the same thing as "Regarding". A better example would be "In reference to the question asked by my opponent, I would like to state that..."

 

In this context (a newspaper ad) "with reference to" would be preferrable, IMO.
