1. Wrong. 'Price' should not be in the possessive (-'s)-- it makes the sentence meaningless; also, the phrasal is 'fixed at', not 'fixed on'.
2. Probably A, but there is some sort of typographical error-- this is a run-on sentence.
II. Oops! Seems to me that both A and C are correct-- please check your copying again.
