(A) so as not directly to be competitive against

(B) in order for them not to have direct competition with

(C) so that they do not compete directly with

(D) in order that they are not directly competitive against（C）

(E) for the purpose of not competing directly with

对于该题，我选C，但我对其它错误选项的解释吃不准，还请大侠指点一二：

B：for them to is wordy because the subject of the subordinate clause is the same as that of main clause.

C:competitive against感觉意思不对

E：Factory outlet storesfor the purpose of似乎逻辑不通

小弟抛砖引玉，望大侠们不吝赐教
