IN A and D, both....along with is not idiomatic. The correct idiom is both X and Y. Eliminate A and D. In B and E, the antecedents of they are not crystal clear. Since C avoids the ambiguity, eliminate B and E. The correct answer is C.
A few verbs can be combined with what is known as the bare infinitive: TO + VERB without the to. Among these verbs are help, make, and see. A common construction is HELP/MAKE/SEE + DIRECT OBJECT + BARE INFINITVE:
John helped Mary cook dinner. You made me love you. I saw him take the cookie.
In the sentences above, cook, love and take are all bare infinitives (TO + VERB without the to). Help + bare infinitive -- without an intervening direct object, such as helped bolster in the SC above -- is common in the real world but seems too informal for the GMAT. I personally prefer helped TO bolster.
