Hello Shilpa,
You have a good point!Here’s why B & C are not correct though –
B – without the comma, there would be a comma splice with the “as” clause. Ideally, the sentence would be better written had there been a semi-colon instead of a comma after “… and work” (though this difference between different punctuation marks is not tested on the GMAT).
