OFFICIAL EXPLANATION

D

Choices A, B, and C include a parallel comparison error; A and B compare classical guitars and folk guitar owners, while C compares a plural (classical guitars) and a singular (a folk guitar) noun. Choice E incorrectly suggests that the bright and brassy sound is universally preferred rather than preferred specifically by folk guitar owners. Furthermore, the placement of for their owners is unnecessarily confusing, as it separates two elements of the sentence that should be closely connected (bright and brassy sound … that only bronze and steel can create). Choice D corrects this error by setting the interceding phrase off with commas. The best answer is D.
