Can someone please explain why C is wrong. Couldn't this support the the conclusion. By there being no one else who wants to be majority, does this not assume that there are others who have shares of said company and no other competition to purchase said shares from others. Couldn't (E) be wrong because of the word "possibly"? Theres no guarantee and just as there is the case of the company selling the shares theres an equal possibility that they wont? Im not sure how (E) most supports the conclusion.

Even though C is telling us Morris is the only person interested, it doesn't help to explain how Morris will become the majority owner if Azedcorp refuses to sell. However with E, if Azedcorp will probably be forced to sell its newspaper holdings, and we know Morris wants to buy them, then that explains how Morris will soon be the majority owner of The Daily. Re your final question, E says "probably" and not "possibly", so we have good reason to think that Azedcorp will have to sell.
