Basing and using are the present participles of verbs to base and to use, two very different words.

C is incorrect because it does not have any referent in the sentence. Basing what on?

scio me nihil scire

Thx.

You would seldom see sentient beings "based on" or inanimate objects "using." I can think of few exceptions; you might see using modifying a computer, for example.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
