The first sentence compares 'news' with a commodity. sentence A is an extension of the same idea, as it compares it with 'cars or any other consumer item'. Just like cars have become 'suvs', news also has become a mixture of information and entertainment in the recent years - which is the idea expressed in the last sentence. Hence the first sentence and the last sentence along with sentence A makes a coherent and meaningful paragraph. The other two sentences (i.e) B and C tell about newsmen and their work atmosphere which are irrelevant in this context.
