WMC:

1. I can’t tell you specifically why the grammar is wrong, but isn’t it obvious that B is the answer? C just doesn’t make coherent sense.

2. “as predicting” implies that the children are predicting, not the manufacturers (as the sentence is meant to mean), you’d have to replace it with “to predict” for the sentence to make sense.

3. The “by” makes no sense, the “by” implies that the pioneering itself gave him the nickname. Just delete the “by” and it’s fine.

4. “diverse subjects as” and “diverse subjects that are” are just plain wrong. I honestly can’t tell you the grammatical rule (sorry), but diverse needs to be used as it is in C.
