Hey this question can be solved only by using parallelism...

US has set up a panel to do 2 things 1/ to protect consumers and 2/ to make companies more competitive.

So these 2 things should be parallel

A. that would look at how to protect consumers while also make

how to protect || how to make ("how to" understood in the 2nd part)

B. that will look at the protection of consumers while also making

protection and making - Not ||

C. for looking at how to protect consumers while also making

to protect and making - not ||

D. that will look at how to protect consumers while also making

same as D

E. for looking at protecting consumers and also making

for looking is worng - intention are expressed by " to + Verb"
protecting and making conveying thing that are happening right nw and doesn't convey the meaning of the original sentence correctly.

Answer should be A, what does the guide say!?

unfortunately we can't give you any help on this question, because the question itself is flawed in a way that you won't see on the GMAT. please understand that using practice questions from dubious sources can actually hurt your performance, and be careful which problem sources you use..
