Correct answer: B
Correct sentence: The high price is a major hindrance to potential buyers.
Correct segment order: 'the high price' → 'is a major' → 'hindrance to' → 'potential buyers'.
Why this order works: It places the subject first, followed by the verb phrase, and ends with the prepositional phrase that shows who is affected.
Start with the subject: the high price.
Follow with the verb phrase: is a major hindrance to.
End with the object/target group: potential buyers.
Note: The original solution omitted the subject and therefore produced a fragment. The full correct sentence is given above.
