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。
Increases 是复数！！
