Solution:
Comparison
Less is the comparative of little ( used especially before uncountable nouns). E.g: “I earn less money than you.”
Fewer is the comparative of few ( used before plural nouns). E.g: “I've got fewer problems than I used to have.”
Lesser means "smaller" or "not so much", used for comparison, for instance, “the lesser of two evils”
On the basis of the fact that “sales” is uncountable and “subscribers” are countable B, D and E can be eliminated.
C: “lesser” is used. But “lesser” is used only for comparison between two objects. Hence, C is incorrect.
A: best choice.
