[deleted because problem is from a banned source - see below]

Ron, Stacy,

I selected the right option but I want to get a concept clarified.

A introduces pronoun ambiguity I believe, which is why C is a better choice. But if you read the sentence, "them" cannot refer to anything except the telephone companies. One would be very tempted to select this, also because it's a shorter and more direct version of C. Can you tell me what's really wrong with this option?

OG is a banned source; it is illegal to post OG questions anywhere on the web. If you are in one of our classes, please ask OG questions during office hours or before/after class..

to answer your question, i agree there is no pronoun ambiguity here (there almost never is in GMAT problems). syntactically, the pronoun HAS to refer to customers because of its position in the clause. that is why A is wrong..

I'm sorry Tim, I had no idea. I don't belong to the classes but I go through the forums a lot. I wasn't aware of this. I Won't repeat it in the future and thanks for the help.

no worries. go ahead and feel free to use the forum for other questions that don't directly reference the OG..
