I got this question from 1000 SC.

A representative of the Women’s Bureau of the United States Department of Labor contends that employers who offer benefits which permit that employees can balance home and work responsibilities better, realizing gains in attendance, recruiting, and retention.
(A) which permit that employees can balance home and work responsibilities better, realizing
(B) which permit employees balancing home and work responsibilities better will realize
(C) that permit employees to balance the responsibilities of home and work better will realize
(D) that permit employees a better balance between the responsibilities of home and work, thus realizing
(E) such that employees are permitted a balance between home and work responsibilities, and they will realize

The OA is C.

My question is , can we saw that since the comma is missing after " benefits " , option A & B are out. " Which " requires a comma. So if we don't see any comma, can we strike out any option with " which " at the begining ?

Thanks,
Sandip

The answer C is correct.

A is clumsy
B violates parallelism and clumsy again
C is correct
D the statment uses the word "cotends". That to me refers to the future. "realizing" as I understand it is happening in the present.
E. long and clumsy.
