@Salman.

'Cope' is followed by the preposition 'with', and never followed by 'up'.

@Srijita S. L.
Option A has a grammatical error & Option C has a punctuation error. In explanation, they pointed out only the grammatical one.

'now' refers to present. Hence, it should have been "the brand proposition then,therefore had to be", or it could have been "the brand proposition now therefore is/has to be".

In option C, the comma is placed incorrectly. Blemish, free is entirely changing the meaning of the sentence. The comma between "blemish" and "free" shouldn't be there at all.

Brand proposition is existing now i.e. present. So there should be use of present tense and answer A is correct.

Also I think there is mistake with C it shouldn't be just "cope with" it should be "cope up with".

Answer can be option C but I think its just a printing error. The error in option A is more vital.

I total agree with pranav mittal ..becoz he is right....NOW focus the present world....

The answer can be C also because it cannot br blemish, free. It should be blemish-free.

In option A, I guess it should be "has to be" instead of "had to be" and "is to be".
