“Although they realize that retirement plan investing provides long-term benefits, many employees wonder whether” - is a GMAT sentence correction question. These types of questions contain grammatical errors in the underlined sentence, and we have to choose the correct statement from the options. GMAT sentence correction is part of GMAT verbal.

Answer: C
Explanation: To validate the phrase's desired alteration, the tenets listed below can be used:

• Parallelism
• Examining two separate aspects
• Modifiers

This is how the sentence is put together:
This issue is fundamentally a pronoun issue: This should be obvious given the choice between "it" and "they" after the word "whether," the decision between "it" and "they," and the fact that choice B begins with the pronoun "they."
The solution to pronoun issues is to identify the antecedent.

Option A is incorrect:
It is not a valid choice. You'll notice that each option begins with a transitional word (such "although" or "while"), requiring the clause that follows the comma to relate back to that introduction.

Option B is incorrect:
Option B is incorrect because there isn't a clear antecedent for the pronoun "they" (in choice B, the word "employees" appears after the transition "while," suggesting that the pronoun must here refer to something other than those "many employees," and there isn't another suitable noun in the sentence). This indicates that B is inaccurate and makes a pronoun reference mistake.

Choice C is incorrect.
It is also an incorrect choice. You'll notice that each option begins with a transitional word (such "although" or "while"), requiring the clause that follows the comma to relate back to that introduction.

Choice D is correct.
As a result, you need to use the pronoun "it" in the sentence "many employees worry whether it puts..." since the pronoun must link back to "retirement plan investing." Therefore, option D for the solution must be right.

Choice E is incorrect.
It should be obvious that "workers" are the owners or possessors of the short-term cash flow (it cannot be "investment" or "benefits," the other nouns earlier in the sentence), thus you must use the plural "their" for the last word of each answer choice. Choice E is so eliminated.
