题目分析：
本题属于GMAT句子改错考试中的简单题，有三个选项可以通过语法知识直接排除。但是，剩下的两个选项可能会较难以排除。
选项分析：
A选项：the remainder of which是定语从句（有which的都是定语从句）。定语和状语，是英语的修饰语，需要就近修饰一个名词或动词。本选项中，距离the remainder of which最近的名词是drug spending。但是，come的逻辑主语应该是increase，即，其余的上升来自于9850种药。另外，一般现在时accounts应改为过去式accounted。
B选项：分号通常连接两个分句，即，前后均需要是完整的句子（虽然个别的时候（一般为连接平行对象时），分号能与逗号相互替换，但是本质上，分号应连接两个独立的分句）。
C选项：Correct. 本选项在逻辑和语法上均是正确的。the remainder of the increase coming from sales of the 9,850 prescription medicines是独立主格结构，做状语。
D选项：本选项没有谓语动词。
E选项：本选项没有谓语动词。
Take away, 独立主格不一定以“with"开头，”名词或代词作为逻辑主语，加上分词、形容词、副词、动词不定式或介词短语作为逻辑谓语“就可以构成
Split#1: increases是复数，去掉选项A
Split#2: 选项B中semicolon后面需要跟完整的句子，去掉选项B。选项C中while前不是完整句子，while是完整句子，去掉。
Split#3：都是接独立主格，但是it语义上指代的应该是increases，去掉选项E
